How to Name Alkanes Ft. Professor Dave

Now that we know the basics of line notation, let's move onto nomenclature. With ‪@ProfessorDaveExplains‬, we'll take a look at the rules of the system for naming molecules created by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, and then we'll start our exploration of nomenclature with alkanes, one of the most basic type of molecule. We'll learn how memorize prefixes, identify the longest carbon chain, number the parent chain, and list substituents and then parent chain, all in order to get the appropriate name for an alkane.
