if anyone feels really smart and like helping me out, you can attempt to very briefly explain to me organic chemistry, like how to name compounds such as dimethylether and stupid stuff like that, a few of us on here would greatly appreciate
 
what do you need help in? just the naming? because if you know the basic rules, you can do a lot. what types of compounds do you have to know?
 
you jsut need to know how to name

type 1

type 2

and non metal

then you are sweet

look in your text it should explaiin it
 
keyword --> organic

it's pretty impossible to draw diagrams etc with a keyboard

try asking your teacher, memorize functional groups, simple alkanes-enes-ynes, and rules for numbering
 
1= meth

2=eth

3= prop

4= but

5= pent

6= hex

7= hept

8= oct....

and so on for the # of carbons in you primary chain thingy

h h h h h

h c-c-c-c-c h

h h h h h

=pentane

ane = all single bonds

ene = double bonds

ex

h h h

h c-c=c-c h

h h h

=2-butene, the double bond is on the 2nd carbon

yne = triple bonds

h h

c=-c

h h

yeah that should look like 3 lines... but yeah difficult

=ethyne

it gets crazy when you get methyls + stuff

( h )

h c h

ex

h h h h

h c c c c h

h | h h

h c h

h

=2 methyl butane

and so on, but watch out for c's on the first carbon because then the teachers trying to trick you! say that methyl group up there is on the 1st c, it would just be pentane!

its basically the same naming system when you get into adding hydroxyl groups and so on... i might be a tad rusty but i aced the class... if you need more help just msg me
 
i totally got it now thanks to 1260 chick or w/e, and now i figured out about like 1,2 chloro 3 methyl propanate,, organic chemistry is madddd easy
 
organic chemistry in university is the (supposedly) hardest class ever. i used to like it high shcool... but now it is totally kicking my ass.
