more than one functional group [ENDORSED]
Should we know how to name compounds with more than one functional group? If yes, what is the order of priority for the different functional groups?

In a sports relay race, a chemical kinetics specialist runs slowly, and his group loses the race.
When the chemical kinetics specialist is asked why he ran slowly, his reply was “I always wanted to be the significant rate determining step”.

Which would you expect to have a higher molecular entropy at T = 0, single crystals of BF3 or of COF2? Why?
I have read this section in the textbook and the answer in the workbook several times and I'm just not grasping the concept. Could someone help explain this to me?

What is the difference between thermodynamics and a stick?
A stick has two ends and no beginning. Thermodynamics has two ‘beginnings’ (the first and second law) and no end.
