    Naming Compounds

    True - but take care. It's NOT the sum of the numbers. We have two possible set of numbers 1 1 1 2 2 OR 1 1 2 2 2 ......^ NOTE - the third column. Here we see that '1' is less than '2' so the numbering is ROW one so we have (in alpha order) 2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluroethane

    Answering HSC Questions

    Bullet points are fine, howerer ... ... the "key words" [eg identify, explain, etc) need to be known & used. btw diagrams are a great way to HELP 'describe' ..... (remember, a picture is worth a 1,000 words. lol)
