Front

What is the IUPAC name for 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene?

Back

The IUPAC name for 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene is TNT.

Front

How do you identify the longest carbon chain in a hydrocarbon?

Back

The longest carbon chain is identified by counting the number of carbon atoms in a continuous chain, including branches.

Front

What is the difference between alkenes and alkanes?

Back

Alkenes contain at least one double bond, while alkanes contain only single bonds.

Front

What is the IUPAC naming rule for branched alkenes?

Back

The IUPAC naming rule for branched alkenes involves identifying the longest chain, numbering the carbon atoms, and naming substituents.

Front

What is the significance of the double bond in alkenes?

Back

The double bond in alkenes makes them more reactive than alkanes and allows for addition reactions.
