Ok sorry about that. Yes, you are correct. C-13 methyl would have higher priority than the ethyl group. You're looking for the first point of difference between your comparisons. The first point of difference here is C-13 vs. C-12, as you noted. C-13 methyl gets the nod as higher priority...

Yikes, you're absolutely correct. Thanks for catching my mistake. I have editted my response and it should be correct now. Yes that is correct (i'm assuming you mean "then you MUST GO on to the next atoms along the bonds"), but there is a notable exception when discussing Hydrogen and...

This is a good answer, and I'm going to elaborate with some images to better clarify. Take for example these structural isomers: Notice that when we discuss cis and trans here, we have a Cl atom on either side of the double bond. Cis and trans describes the orientation of the chlorine atoms...

A little clarification on this? I'm working with TiO2 suspended in water. Its a mixture of both rutile and anatase phase TiO2, and I've heard people refer to it as a colloidal solution and a slurry. Are they synonyms? Is one an incorrect description? Are they not synonyms, but both correct in...

1. If F(x) = f(xf(xf(x))), where f(1) = 2, f(2) = 3, f '(1) = 4, f '(2) = 5, and f '(3) = 6, find F'(1). I feel I have a decent grasp on the chain rule, product rule, etc, but when faced with a problem like this I just blank out. I don't even really know where to begin. Unfortunately I...
