Orgo Attempt #781236289476235

Yeah so I'm once again inspired to study for orgo [by that stupid guy in the forums with 4.0GPA and 42 MCAT score... <-- I want... GPA impossible, but MCAT score isn't impossible yet~ -hopeful-]. I basically spent the whole day so far [2:30pm]doing problem after problem of nomenclature... and just for alkanes and cycloalkanes/haloalkanes too >_<;;; [Not much to do at work beacuse they're waiting for a guy to come and team them how to use the new double-staining kit, and he's not coming till like next week, so not much to do]

I have just a few questions about orgo:

1. Why is it 6-ethyl-4,5-dipropylnonane and not 4-ethyl-5,6-dipropylnonane???

2. Wtf is iso/sec/tert/neo???

3. What's "the maximum number of substituents" rule??

4. When do you use tert vs 1,1-dimethylethyl?

5. How do you know when C becomes sextet??

6. WHERE ARE NUMBERS 19 AND 20 IN CHP 1 [I ONLY SEE 18 THEN 22]?!?!?!

7. How do you find the shortest/longest bond in a molecule?

8. How do you tell if something's acid/base/nucleophilic/electrophilic if it's something like MgBr2 or H2S?
