Front (Question)

What are the rules for naming molecules?

Back (Answer)

• commas between 2 no.s, dashes between no.s and letters (eg: 1,2-dichloropropane) • if there are multiple prefixes, they have to be in alphabetical order and with the carbon no. that the molecule is attached to (eg: 2-bromo-1-chloropropane) • the longest carbon chain is always the base
