=== stereo-isomers ===
Someone (IP:79.54.58.148) has reverted part of my edit because they incorrectly think paraffins cannot have stereo-isomers. In fact they can, for example C(H)(CH<sub>3</sub>)(C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)(C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>7</sub>) (better known as 3-methylhexane: CH3CH2CH(CH3)CH2CH2CH3) is [http://www.wwnorton.com/college/chemistry/orgo3/ch4/2_methylhexane.htm chiral] and so exists in stereo-isomeric form. If you disagree please discuss it here before I change the page back. [[User:TobyK|TobyK]] 00:09, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
