Answer 1

Do you have any examples you’d like to go through ?

Basicallly you start by finding the longest carbon chain (which may not always be obvious), change -ane to -ene or -yne if there’s any double or triple bonds

Then make a list of all the side chains and their locations, and add them to the beginning of the compound name in alphabetical order

Answer 2

Of course, that’s for straight chain alk*nes, things get a little different when you start adding things like -OH or -COOH, etc. or naming aromatics

Answer 3

I remember that we said in class to attempt to pin the lowest numbering to substituent-linked carbons

Answer 4

Ah. Yes. I’m in class rn but I’ll get to you asap.

Answer 5

Oh no, it's okay! I have to go to class soon, so I'll be available only after an entire hour, anyway ^^;
