Naming carboxylic acids
Functional group always at the end of the chain, therefore no need for numbers. Name will be corresponding stem + '-anoic acid'
Step 3 for naming compounds

Use of H^1NMR

Exam tip:major minor
When asked to predict and explain the major product when a hydrogen halide adds to an alkene, always explain it in terms of the stability of the intermediate carbocation - it is never enough to just say 'Markovnikov's rule'. You must also make sure that you include a comparison - there are more electron-releasing alkyl groups around the positively charged carbon in a secondary carbocation than in a primary carbocation

Naming Alkanes
1. Find the longest continuous carbon chain. 2. Choose the prefix corresponding to the number of carbon atoms in the longest continuous carbon chain 3. Add the ending 'ane' to indicate an alkane. 4. Look for substituent groups (alkyl groups). 5.Number the positions of the substituent groups using the combination that has the lowest individual numbers (not the sum). 6. Choose a prefix to indicate the number of each substituent present. 7.Arrange the names of the substituent groups in alphabetical order (ignoring the prefix used in step 6).
When naming organic compounds remember to
1. Identify the longest backbone of carbon atoms 2. Side chains are numbered with the lowest number
Additional rules when naming organic compounds are:

Primary, secondary and tertiary halogenoalkanes

Why are members of the alkane series unreactive?
1. The relative bond enthalpies between C-C and C-H bonds. Strong bonds =large amount of energy required to break. 2. The polarity of the C-C and C-H bonds. C-C non-polar covalent tends to be left alone by other molecules. C-H polar covalent, however C can leave H for another halogen.

Type of reactivity-evidence
Benzene resists addition reactions: because it would involve disrupting the entire delocalized electron cloud so is energetically not favored as the product formed would be less stable. Benzene can partake in substitution reactions: because substitution preserves the ring structure of Benzene and is more energetically favored.

A compound has the molecular formula C7H8. What is its IHD? What are three options for structural components of the molecule that would cause it to have this IHD?
CNH2N+2 = C7H2x7+2 = C7H16 but this compound is C7H8 IHD = ((2×7+2) - (8))/2 = (16-8)/2 = 8/2 = 4 (i) The compound could have 2 triple bonds. (ii) The compound could contain 2 rings and have 2 double bonds. (iii) The compound could have 1 ring and 3 double bonds. Note that this is what resonance structures of benzene have. As benzene rings are fairly common in organic chemistry, an IHD ≥ 4 often indicates the presence of a benzene ring in the compound.

Why is SN1 more favourable for tertiary halogenoalkanes?
This is because of the stability of the intermediate carbocation. Methyl groups (and alkyl groups in general) have an electron-releasing effect (also called a positive inductive effect) so that they are able to stabilise a positively charged carbon atom to which they are bonded.
How do tertiary alcohols undergo oxidation?
