HELp with carbon chemistry! (1 Viewer)

I know that i should search before i post new thread but somehow my internet is not allowning me to do so.
so i am posting new thread =P

i just want some help with polymer and ethanol stuff..
especially when it comes to naming complex chain (eg-1,2-ethanediol or 2-methly-2-propanol and etc) i really get stuck...
i know i am asking questions out of no where but i really really need hand on these stuff..
would somebody like to give me like really really basic stuff on polyer and ethanol ?


p.s. - i am looking at HSC online atm..but it doesn't seem help me much lol-

What in particular ?

What in particular ?

i knew that question is gonna turn up lol..
sorry for my weird question...

hmm....it would be great if u tell me some basic stuff abt hydrocarbon...
anything related to them would be great.

Basic Rules in naming hydro carbons
find the longest possible chain then
you start counting from the end carbon closest to
1. triple/double bonds if not then
2. side branches if not then
3. halogens

when writing out the formula
except for the lets say octan-4-ol
everything else is sorted alphabetically
bromo comes before chloro and methyl etc

someone check this for me its been a while
