what functional group is it?

anonymous · Answer

I.. am not sure.
like I do not know anything about naming compounds... so I needed someone to briefly explain how to name this one :"(

aaronq · Answer

lol you don't know anything..? why are you taking AP chemistry? 
it's an ether btw

anonymous · Answer

I couldn't get my schedule changed. I wanted to be in AP art, and unless I took AP chem, they were not going to let me stay in art.. :(

anonymous · Answer

but could you explain the whole process please?

aaronq · Answer

heres a good reference, i mean for ether it's easy... name the shorter chain first add an -oxy suffix then name the longer chain

like propoxypentane

anonymous · Answer

oh.. thank you :) 
I'll try to learn the process myself I guess. lol
I need to get over my fears and start studying chemistry.. 
anywhoo thank you again for comming ^____^

aaronq · Answer

no problem ! yeah, you really have to practise. A good start would be watching some videos on khan academy or youtube, that way you see some examples and you get over those fears and dive into the wonders of chem,... or something. lol anyway, good luck !
