    Study Notes

    Nomenclature in Chemistry

    • Functional groups determine the naming conventions in organic chemistry, contributing suffixes and prefixes to the base name.
    • Example of a compound: Penta-2,4-dienoic acid, which includes specific locants indicating double bonds.
    • Molecule CCl3-C-OH is known as 2,2,2-trichloroethanoic acid, demonstrating the use of prefixes for multiple halogen substituents.

    Hydrocarbons and Molecular Formulas

    • Hydrocarbons are categorized by their formula, such as alkanes represented by CnH2n+2, indicating saturated compounds.
    • Molecular formulas represent the actual number of each type of atom within a molecule.
    • Examples include:
      • Water: H2O
      • Sulphuric Acid: H2SO4

    IUPAC Naming

    • IUPAC provides systematic methods for naming chemical compounds.
    • Example given: 2-[2’-bromo-1’-cyano-3’-fluorocycloprop-2-enyl] ethanamide, showcasing the complexity and detail in IUPAC names.
