Default the naming of organic compounds?
Hello!! i have a question...about the nomenclature of organic compounds...we should name ethyl first rather then methyl right? errr, however if the the methyl is replaced by a dimethyl, which comes first...the dimethyl or ethyl? in this case should we use the alphabetical order?
