CYCLO ALKANES
Today we learned about cyclo alkanes, which are basically carbon compounds in ring shapes (they can do that!)
-They still follow the same rules as the rest of the alkanes, but you add "cyclo" to the beginning of the name
- when you are numbering, you can go clock wise or counter clockwise, but start your "1" at the side chain, as you want it to be the smallest number (jus
t like normal)
