What is this?
« on: June 25, 2015, 05:26:32 AM »
I have this hydrocarbon which is the shape of benzene, has CH CH CH CH HC and C with a H3C branching off at the C, sorry I don't know how to insert an image :/

Anyways I labeled this as Toluene but toluene is CH3 not HC3, help? If someone could tell me how to insert image it would be easier.

Why is -CH3 not H3C-?  What is the difference?  I'm left wondering, how would you draw them differently.

Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

What would bring the OP forward is debug the -CH3 versus H3C-. Whether toluene or not is less useful. Anyway, here's toluene displayed by its Smiles Cc1ccccc1:
