Hi everyone. I remember reading somewhere in my load of notes/books a list of short names for 1, 2, 3 and 4 carbon molecules. I know that form- is 1 carbon. I also remember seeing Acet (like acetone) and propion (like propionic acid) on the chart. I can't remember the 4th. I don't remember which corresponds to which but if anyone could please list them, I would appreciate it. I've tried googling but only found one link that said Acet- means 2 carbons, but acetone has 3 carbons..? Thanks!
