AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a self-created problem focused on alkene nomenclature using the E,Z naming scheme. The participant has numbered the longest carbon chain and attempted to name the compound as 6-butyl-5,7-diethyl-3-methylundecane without the double bond. With the double bond included, they propose the name as (5E)-6-butyl-5,7-diethyl-3-methyl-5-undecene. There is uncertainty about the correctness of this nomenclature. The conversation highlights the complexities of alkene naming conventions.

1. I made up this problem myself in order to practice. I stumped myself. I'm such a genius, I'm aware
It's basically alkene nomenclature with the E,Z naming scheme.2. Picture
See below. I've taken the liberty of already numbering the longest chain.

The Attempt at a Solution


Without the double bond, I know that the name of this compound would be 6-butyl-5,7-diethyl-3-methylundecane.

With the double bond, I think it might be (5E)-6-butyl-5,7-diethyl-3-methyl-5-undecene. Is this right? I'm not entirely sure.

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
