- TRUE OR FALSE. Write T if True, F if False. 1. In numbering the longest chain, the first substituent should have the higher number. 2. Alphabetize the names of the substituents, ignoring all prefixes except iso, as in isopropyl and isobutyl. 3. A number is always designated to indicate the location of a single substituent in cyclohexane. 4. For rings with two different substituents, number the ring to assign the lower number to the substituents alphabetically. 5. In naming alkenes, the longest carbon chain is always used as the parent name. 6. Toluene is an IUPAC name. 7. A benzyl group differs from a phenyl group only by an extra CH2 group. 8. Naming of branched molecules depend on the type of C atom removed from the parent chain. 9. An unbranched alkane with a chain of 50 carbons is called pentacontane. 10.
