Basic Organic Chemistry: Nomenclature of organic compounds: part 2

Nomenclature of organic compounds, primarily using the IUPAC system, provides a systematic way to name compounds based on their structure, using prefixes (substituents), a root (longest carbon chain), and suffixes (functional groups) to create a unique, unambiguous name from a structure, and vice versa, with rules for prioritizing groups and numbering carbons for clarity, moving beyond simpler common names
