Flexi Says: Substituents can be groups other than alkyl groups. If a chlorine atom were substituted for a hydrogen, the name becomes chlorobenzene. If more than one substituent is present, their location relative to each other can be indicated by numbering the positions on the benzene ring. The number of the carbon location then precedes the name of the substituent in the overall name, with the numbers separated by a comma. As with branched alkanes, the system requires that the numbers be the lowest possible and that prefixes be used for more than one of the same substituent. If there are different substituents, the first in alphabetical order is given the lower number and listed first.
