Just wondering if one of these names is preferred:
(1-ethylpropyl)cyclohexane
cyclohexane, (1-ethylpropyl)-
3-pentanylcyclohexane
pentan-3-ylcyclohexane
Thanks in advance :)
Yeah I mean I know that my idea of how it might bond is wrong but I'm just not sure of exactly what makes it different :confused:
So in your picture, for one molecule of ethanol (on average): one lone pair on the O-atom 'accepts' a H-bond from another molecule, and one of it's H-atoms...
Thanks for replying :) I've just read Wikipedia's entry but I think I must still be missing something :/
I understand the +I effect and how the O-atom can form two H-bonds, but the H-atom also forms a H-bond with an O lone pair on another ethanol doesn't it? So does that mean each molecule...
Hey,
How do you know how many hydrogen bonds ethanol molecules will form with each other? I know there are 3 sites where H bonds could form (2 lone pairs on oxygen and the hydrogen) but with something like hydrogen fluoride, each molecule only forms 1 H bond on average so shouldn't something...
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with the reasoning for what follows, I'm thinking I must just be missing something quite obvious but I can't seem to see what that is at the moment! :redface:
I understand how to get the structure by starting from a 'skeleton structure' and just filling in...
