AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the correct chemical structure for hexane. Participants express confusion over labeling, with suggestions including 2-methyl butane and 3-bromo-4,5-ene. There is uncertainty about the meaning of "T," with one participant speculating it could indicate isopropyl. The conversation also considers the possibility that the structure may not be hexane but rather an alkene or octane. Ultimately, clarity on naming conventions and structural identification remains a key focus.

please help me name the structure.

The structure is a hexane.
I can't figure out how to label it.

could it be: 2-methyl butane
3-bromo-4,5-ene, 5-propyl- chloro hexane?

It is not a hexane.

Does the "T" mean isopropyl?
 


I'm not sure what the "T" is. I can't find the structure in my book:( If its not a hexane, then it has to be an octane.
 


It looks like an alkene that is anchored to a solid support (the "T") or the side chain for a polymer. If that is the case, you name it but it ends with "-yl".
 


ok, thank you:)
 

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...
