Find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This longest chain may not be written in a straight line. 2. Name that longest chain with the appropriate alkane name. 3. Find the substituents and name each of them with the appropriate group name. 4. Number the carbons in the chain such that the lowest number is given to the group nearest one end of the chain. 5.
