Question

Help!! I have a organic chem exam in a few days and I really need help understanding a few topics.

1.) What are likely formulas for the following molecules:
a.) AlF?
b.)CH?
How do you figure out what number is correct for the formula?

2.)When its asking to name a compound, how do I know when to use iso, or cyclo? (the example on my review is 1-isopropyl-2-methylcyclopentane)

3.) How do you draw the most stable and the least stable new am projection for 2-methylbutane. I know one is eclipsed and one is staggered but I'm not sure which is the more stable and how you draw it

Answer 1

hi can one of you help me after you help this person

Answer 2

question 1 is just a review of general chemistry really... this is something you shouldn't be struggling on before you enter organic chemistry or you are doomed

cyclo pertains to a ring formation
iso pertains to some presence of symmetry in branch of constituents

Answer 3

for question 3
look at the isomers of 2-methylbutane and find out which is more stable by its structure

Answer 4

I did very well in general chemistry I took it a year ago and I'm in need a refresher on how to find the likely formula
