Front (Question)

Naming organic compounds?

Back (Answer)

1) identify the longest carbon chain 2) identify the main functional group, this gives you the suffix or the prefix 3) Number the carbon chain 4) Find any side chains, add this to the start of the name and number the carbon it’s attached to 5) for identical side chains use, di, tri and tetra
