Do dashes in naming matter
If you are naming a structure that is 2-methylbutane, but wrote it as 2-methyl-butane, would you still get full credit? Does having the dash in-between methyl and butane matter? If so, how?

Re: Do dashes in naming matter
Justin is correct, there is no dash between the root name (prop, but, hex, etc) and the prefix directly before it.
Re: Do dashes in naming matter
2-methylbutane is correct but I give credit for 2-methyl-butane as it does make it easier to read.
