Markers rather HBrO than the Br2 as it shows that you know bromine reacts with water.

 

[QZP]

nah I think you should use the other equation

"And what do you mean? They want structural diagram?"

It's fine. This discussion was on BoS a while ago. HBrO was old syllabus and then they allowed Br2(aq) and old teachers didnt adapt

"And what do you mean? They want structural diagram?"

I think she means this: HBrO (aq) + C6H10(l) --> C6H10BrOH(aq) and yea I would also draw structural to clearly show it.

how would you name this compound? And what's the thought process in doing so?

I'd name it 2,4-dibromo-1-chloro-2-methylbutane because it's easier to name than going with the other possible longest chain and I'm lazy and dumb haha
Edit: didn't see the fluorine there, add 1-fluoro in as well sorry

2-methyl, 2,4-dibromo, 1-chloro, 1-fluorobutane. Well that's how I would call it..lol

hmm there's a discrepancy? What logic do you use for it?

Normally you wouldn't start with the methyl group :/

I used the alphabetical naming rule, which you should use

Ohh so that's what they want in hsc right? So it doesn't matter about electronegativity of the halogens or weird stuff like that?

I thought it was methyl before halogens in alphabetical order?

anyone need some last minute questions answered in chem?

I'm happy to help

Nope it's alphabetical. In 2012 they accidentally screwed it up themselves, and they'll definitely never do it again because it was a massive deal

methyl is like the last thing, has the least precedence

yes omg that's what I was just looking at right now hahah. Thank gosh, cheers for that!

Ok just checked it, yea you are right about the alphabetical thingy

wait sorry just to confirm, why cant you start off with 1,3-dibromo etc? How do you get the 2,4 dibromo thing?

When there are 2 possible molecular formulae for the same isomer, the one with least sum of numbers take preference
