why is it pentane-1, 4-diol instead of pentan-1, 4-diol

[noonecares]

Isn't the first example be hexan-1-ol rather than pentan-1-ol, because the last curve is noted as carbon or not.

[RUTHIE]

Thanks so much this is really helpful

For the second part of naming alcohols at 6:51 - shouldn't the name be 4-Alkenylpent-2-ol (like putting alkene in prefix instead of in the middle)? Because for the last section, the prefix of halide is used.

[RUTHIE]

Why do you number the carbons starting on a different end (left to right rather than right to left) for the alkene alcohol?

Why is it pentane-1, 4-diol with an e and not pentan-1, 4-diol at 3:27

[niamhyb]

How do you know when to use pent and when to use Pentan?

[blazej]

Do we need to know the priority table off by heart for the exam?

[manishadoal]

Why is it that when theres only one OH group attached to the alkane on the first carbon, e.g pentane, its given the name pentan-1-ol, but whens there's two OH groups attached on the first and forth carbon it is pentane-1, 4-diol and not pentan-1, 4-diol?
