meth is the prefix meaning "one carbon atom" The prefixes begin: meth-, eth-, prop-, but-, pent-, hex-, hept-, and continue up. The most common place to find the prefix is on alkyl groups. An alkyl group is simple linear chain of carbon atoms attached to one place somewhere in the molecule. All spare bonds are attached to hydrogen. Each carbon atom usually makes four single bonds. The first alkyl groups are methyl- which can be represented CH3- ethyl- CH3-CH2- propyl- CH3-CH2-CH2- etc. An example: The drug "Meth" is short for Methamphetamine which is short for Methyl-amphetamine. The systematic name for methylamphetamine is N-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-2-amine The letter and numbers say where the pieces are attached to the rest of the molecule (i.e. to the nitrogen and the 1st and the 2nd carbons) The parts are, omitting the hydrogens: methyl C- phenyl- C6- (a ring shape of carbons, with a branch) propan (the central part C-C-C) -amine (-N)
