Question

is meta, ortho, para only used for benzenes? or can it also be used for cyclo____

Answer 1

I've only seen it used for aromatic compounds such as benzene. For cyclic compounds, numbers are used.

Answer 2

ohhh ok

Answer 3

Because if you have more than 3 substituents on benzene, then you wont use orth, meta, para, nomenclature.

Answer 4

ok thanks
