AS Chemistry Nomenclature Guide

This document provides an organic chemistry unit on nomenclature. It contains questions that assess the ability to: [1] Identify alkane, cycloalkane, and alkene structures from molecular formulas; [2] Classify organic molecules as alkanes or alkenes; [3] Name organic structures; [4] Draw organic structures from names; [5] Identify structural isomers; and [6] Arrange isomers by increasing boiling point. Students must demonstrate understanding of naming conventions and the ability to interconvert between chemical names, formulas, and representations.
