Hi, 3-chloro-3-bromohex-1-yne > > I was told that the chemical names come in alphabetic order. Is there a convention like that? If so, the chloro and bromo get interchanged.
My daughter's answer was 3,3-bromo-chloro-hexyne whereas the correct version according to school was 3-bromo-3-chloro-hexyne -- Regards, trrk (Rajesh, Alleppey, Kerala
