How are you studying for Chem? (3 Viewers)

ok i concur that Ethenylbenzene is correct...*hangs head in shame*

on a more happier note, the IUPAC name for styrene is also right for phenyl ethene.

 

[chrissieee]

quiet f00l.

Poor girl, you don't learn by firing unsupported insults at people.

Grab yourself a CC and get cracking. Kthnxbai.

 

[Haku]

disregarding the idiot about me

the reason: ethenylbenzene since the functional group 1st in the alphabet (benzene) is the main one

so benzene cause its before ethene becomes the main function group

After reading all this,

I've decided to refer to it as cinnamol.

 

[Haku]

haha, but thats not IUPAC name

but if a test asking u to give name to styrene, and draw the ethene as the main chain like normal and benzene as a function group what would u call it?

 

[Haku]

but if they just draw a hexagon with circle in side its just a phenyl group no necessarily benzene so u have to name it phenyl ethene!

 

[chrissieee]

lets do a deal - i'll go reread my chemistry books if you get a new haircut? kthnxbai.

 

[Haku]

whats everyone thought on that?

 

[Haku]

lol seem the chrissiee know u dreamo. maybe ur rival or something

 

[sunjet]

i think we need hsc4life, she's the real chemist

nosadness, please edit your posts rather than double posting

I don't mean to make her sound like even more of an idiot, but she doesn't know me, not even on BoS, as she's had only 3 posts.

We're going with phenyl ethene, but maybe we should write both phenyl ethene and benzylethene in the exam just to be safe.

Do the last 6 posts all belong to you?

Erm. You can't write two answers for a one answer question, that defeats the purpose of examining it ;P

 

[chrissieee]

wtf are you looking up at how many posts ive got? just because i DONT post and sound like a giant tool like yours truly, doesnt mean i dont read.

wanker.

Argh, fine.

I know, let's call the HSC help line ... which closes ... now.

Chrissie, this is a chemistry thread. If you're not planning to contribute to our discussion, please leave. If you have a problem with me, PM me.

 

[Haku]

sorry bout multiposting, its a skills upgrade when a heated debate happens

anywayz, i would write phenyl ethene to be more safe as the whole ring group with 6 carbon belong to it.

maybe some one check past hsc answer if such a question occured.

 

[Haku]

ah the help line just closed!!!

i still kinda feel bad about calling them to ask questions...

 

[Captain Gh3y]

It was Q17 in 2004, Success One uses the rather obvious name of "styrene" for the monomer. Although I've heard their answers aren't the best.

 

[chrissieee]

okai, im sorry dreamerish. im sorry i will never point out that fact that
a - you were wrong (despite your poncey 98 predicted uai *puts out red carpet for you*)
b - you are a poncey wanker
c - you need to find a new hairdresser, fast.
d - you touch yourself at night.

gl in hsc. *cough*choke*die*. kthnxbye.
