n-

[edit]

According to Wikipedia:

n-, a lowercase prefix in chemistry denoting the straight-chain form of an open-chain compound in contrast to its branched isomer.

I have added this to (hopefully) aid my understanding. Is this correct/Does it make sense?; and would it still make sense if the phrase currently striken out were also included? Bosley John Bosley (talk) 07:15, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) That's the correct meaning (straight-chain) but not the correct target link. It's not open vs closed, but straight vs branched (the striken material salvages the meaning). I adjusted the article and added a link to the other isomer. DMacks (talk) 07:19, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
