By the way
By your side ill stay
While we name
These important things we call alkanes
Here I am helping you
Because I want you to pass organic
Count the chain
The longest carbon chain that is
You use that
As the name for the molecule
Number the chain in such that
You start nearest the substituent
Always
Name the groups as alkyl
With the number from the main chain
And don't forget
The groups that are
In multiples
Are named with their respective prefix
So we put - it all
Toge-ether
Alphabe-tically
It's always alphabetically
And that's how we do it
To recap
Take the longest chain
Name the groups
And add it all together
Yea I said together
Come on
