Do not add the iupac tag. This tag should only be applied to questions about the organisation IUPAC.

However, it is in the nature of nomenclature questions, that it is difficult to find a precise title for a question if you do not know the name of the concerned compound.

If the question may be considered to be a homework question (see above), add the homework tag.

Simple chemical structures can often be represented by a line formula*, such as $\ce{C6H5COOH}$, but for complicated chemical structures, you should include an image that shows a chemical structure diagram of the whole molecule.

You may always edit the text of your question; however, you must not change or expand the actual question after it has received one or more answers. Changes to the question, that invalidate answers will be rolled back.

If you want to extend your question, please ask a new one by clicking the Ask Question button. Include a link to your previous question if it helps provide context.
