April 26th - Naming Compounds

Today we discovered more molecules. Here they are:

Halides:

            Identify halogen elements.

            Name parent chain.

            Treat halogen groups as side chains. Ie. fluoro, chloro, etc.

            Name other side chains.

This functional group is also known as halocarbons.

Ketone:

            Identify a double bonded oxygen group (not on start of end of parent chain)

            Name the parent chain. (ending will be –one)

            Lowest number for double bond.

            Add other side chains.

Ethers:

            Identify carbon chains on ‘ether’ side of an oxygen atom.

            Oxygen can be treated like the parent chain.

            Side chains are listed in lowest number of C.

                        Order of this? Who knows? Just write alphabetical order. 

Examples are on the next blog.

Did you know methanone or ethanone do not exist?
