Questions and Answers

In IUPAC nomenclature, when numbering a ring with multiple substituents, what is the primary goal?

  • To assign the lowest possible numbers to the substituents. (correct)
  • To give priority to halogen substituents.
  • To ensure that the substituents appear alphabetically.
  • To assign the highest possible numbers to all substituents.

    • Which functional group takes precedence when naming a compound with both a carbonyl group and carboxyl group?

  • The carboxyl group takes precedence over the carbonyl group. (correct)
  • They have equal precedence, so the order depends
  • The carbonyl group takes precedence over the carboxyl group.
  • The carbonyl or carboxyl groups take no precedence over one another

    • Which of the following is true of naming an ether?

  • The ether is named as alkoxy-alkane, where the alkoxy group is attached to the shorter chain. (correct)
  • The ether is named as the alkyl group linked to oxygen followed by the prefix -oxy.
  • The ether is named as alkoxy-alkane, where the alkoxy group is attached to the longer chain.
  • The ether is named by naming each alkyl group as separate substituents.
