    If you count the longest chain of carbons first then you know what the end part will be, and you can then add on the functional groups in alphabetical order. And remember you always number the functional groups as low as you possibly can (so think about which end you start counting from!)

    Hope this helps
    Thank you very much
    would you be able to give me an example please

    Explain why synthons are not often used to make the required compound?

    thats because they are very unstable and they cannot be obtained

    erm you should know the equation off by hear which is quiet easy to remember and just remember the conditions ..you should be alright with haber process if you know that i think :rolleyes:

    Because the majority of the time the synthons don't exist, they're not real compounds.

    all I know is N2 + 3H2 <===> 2NH3
    All gaseous.

    What are the conditions?

    Also, how much do you know about the N2 cycle?

    200atm and 450 degrees and iron catalyst used

    well ive just memorised the nitrogen cycle, but you should know about fertilizers, pesticides etc. and tyou should know what they do
    hope that helped

    Yep, but I want a high A* in this so I can slack off in chemistry of materials (next one), I'm better at chem by design, been getting consistent A*'s in all other papers...

    when you work out the oxidation number of soemthing do u take into account the big numbers infron of the compound? Or do u ignore them?

    e.g. 2CuF2 is F = -2 or -4?

    thnx

    Can anyone enlighten me on the nitrogen redox things? I thought I could do them but I found out that I really can't

    F would be -2..you ignore the no. of moles

    Wouldn't F just be -1?
