probably something like 2-methyl-4-ethyloctane?

On something along those lines:

Would CH₃-CCl₂-CHCl-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CHCl₂

be 1,5,6,6-Tetrachloroseptane
Or 2,2,3,7-Tetrachloroseptane

Going by the first difference it would be the top one right?

so u know if u had : Cl2FC-CClF2
1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluroethane as i thought it was??

Yeah, id do it like that.

septane? wow! i always tohught it was heptane. o well, so locants are where each atom, not functional gruop or wateva, just where the atoms are?

bascially, when u name 1,1 dichloroethane, the 1,1 are the locants, end of story, right??

i'm glad the question i had in the trial was very simple and unambiguous
