Her voice was so magical. Why haven't I met her yet?


It was! Aww :frown: I hope you get to one day! She seems like a genuinely lovely person too, and also humble which is rare for artists these days!

How do you check if you get the contextual offer or not?

Well you better hurry, as 48 hours is exactly the deadline :tongue:. Any reason why you're sending it so late?

Sure. :smile:

Firstly, you can tell it's cyclic very quickly and as it isn't a benzene ring but has an -OH group attached, it must be an alcohol. It has 5 carbons in its cyclic structure. The -OH is always on carbon 1 in a cyclic alcohol, so you start counting from there. The ethyl group is attached to the third carbon relative to the -OH group (you want to get the smallest number), so it's 3-ethylcylcopentanol.

You know it's an ethyl group rather than a methyl group because where it branches, there are two carbons rather than just one (as you can tell from the skeletal structure). If it was just one carbon on the branch (i.e. just one line), then it'd be a methyl group. I think this covers what you asked in the PM?

Regarding your second question in the PM, could you quickly draw what you put in your exam? :smile:

I hope this makes sense, I'm not that good at explaining. :colondollar:

It's on the third carbon relative to the -OH (the carbon the -OH is on is carbon 1) :smile:

Oh no I meant I sent it on Friday at 20:10, so it should be sent into ucas by Monday. I was waiting for my Econ remark+a look at the reference (which is great for Cambridge by the looks :biggrin:!)
