@aaronq @sagnik_das
identify as in name?
if so, count the number of carbons
yes
theres 8
@aaronq
thew white ones are hydrogens, the black ones are carbon
3
@aaronq
1 = methane 2= ethane 3=propane 4 = butane check for functional groups, double or triple bonds, etc. are there any of those?
propane
that's correct. Notice the -suffix "-ane", for saturated hydrocarbons, alkanes. If there was a double bond somewhere it would be an "-ene" if triple bonds, "-yne"
ooo ok so how to i do the next one
first draw the carbons, how many carbons are there in an oct-
there will be a double bond?
yes, the suffix "-ene" implies a double bond the number at the front tells you where (at which carbon) that double bond is if can also be written oct-2-ene
it can also****
idk how to draw it though
draw an 8 carbon chain, then add the double bond, then fill it with hydrogens so that each carbon has a total of 4 bonds. H | C=C | H
