IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) nomenclature is a set of rules and guidelines used to name chemical compounds. It ensures that each compound has a unique and systematic name that accurately reflects its composition and structure.
The IUPAC nomenclature system is based on the concept of functional groups, which are specific arrangements of atoms within a molecule that determine its chemical properties. The name of a compound typically includes the names of the functional groups present, as well as any substituents or side chains attached to the main carbon skeleton.
In organic chemistry, the IUPAC nomenclature system provides rules for naming alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, amides, and many other types of organic compounds. It also covers naming of inorganic compounds, coordination compounds, and complex ions.
The IUPAC nomenclature system aims to provide a standardized and unambiguous way of naming compounds, allowing chemists to communicate effectively and accurately about the structure and properties of different substances.
