Hydrocarbon derivatives

Various classes of organic compounds, including halogen, nitrogen, and oxygen derivatives, are categorized based on their functional groups and respective nomenclature systems. Halogen derivatives such as monohalogenated compounds are represented by the general formula R-X, where X is a halogen.

To name your story, you have to think about the overall message and what you want your audience to understand from the story. Also, make it relevant and easy to remember.

Halogen derivatives

The ending of a story is essential. We all know that if the ending is weak, what happened before loses its importance. So make it unpredictable, but fair. A resolved ending answers all the questions and ties up any loose threads from the plot.

Common

CHCl3 Chloroform

CH3-Cl Methyl chloride

CH2-CH-CH2 | | | Cl Cl Br 3-bromo-1,2-dichloropropane

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3-Br BUtyl bromide

This is the closure section of the story.
See examples of possible outcomes below:

Monohalogenated (R-X where R represents the hydrocarbon chain and X any of the halogens)

Try answering these questions to come up with a closure:
- Have all the problems been solved?
- Is there a clear picture of what happens with each character in the story?
- Has the challenge transformed your main character?
- How do the characters feel in the end?

Nitrogen derivatives

The middle of the story is where you add layers of complications that will lead to the end. Reveal more about the character's journey. Did their personality go through changes? How did they overcome the challenges? And as you build up the story’s central conflict, make it more personal to that character. Also, from the middle act, you have to lead into the final act.

Amides

Your character(s) need(s) motivation in order to solve the challenge(s).

Secondary characters also might have motivs beacuse of which they may cross path with main character or which might trigger them to help the main character.

CH3-CH2-CO-NH2 Propionamide

CH3-CH2-CH2-CO-NH2 Butanoamide

Secondary characters might also have motives that lead them to cross paths with the main character or which might trigger them to help the main character.

Amino group (-NH2) replaces -OH (R-C-NH2, R-CO-NH3) | O

Amines

Each story has a main character and that character usually needs to solve a problem or challenge. The character's challenge is the one that creates tension throughout the story.

CH3-CH2-NH-CH3 Ethylmethylamine

CH3-NH-CH3 Dimethylamine

In most stories, there are 3 challenges. The number 3 is a mystical number symbolizing completeness. Try to come up with interesting challenges with which your character needs to struggle.
See a few examples below:

R-N-H, R-N-R', R-N-R' | | | H H R''

Oxygen Derivatives

In the beginning of the story (or the exposition), you will need to introduce the setting and characters. You might also want to introduce the main conflict. This part of the story is important because it gives the reader necessary background information and maybe even a first insight into a character’s personality.

Esters

CH3-CH2-CH2-COO-CH2-CH3 Ethyl butyrate

CH3-COO-(CH2)7-CH3 Octyl acetate

Combination of carboxyl and hydroxyl (R-COO-R, R-C-O-R) || O

CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH Butyric acid

CH3(CH2)8COOH Decanoic acid

CH3-CH2-CH2-COOH Butanoic acid

Carboxyl (R-C=O, R-COOH, R-CO2H) | OH

Aldehydes and ketones

The setting (time & place) of a story can change throughout the plot.

CH3-CH-CH3 || O Propanone Dimethyl ketone

CH2=O Methanal Formaldehyde

The time of the story can also change. It can describe the event of a single day or can include an entire year's plot. Anyway, don't forget to mention it.

Alcohols

Characters are essential to a good story. Usually, the protagonist(s) is/are the most affected by the plot. Introduce a character by focusing on their actions, interests, and occupation, as the physical appearance doesn't make a difference in most cases.
