Naming Rule Nomenclature Organic Compound Functional Group

Overview

Engineering reference data for Naming Rule Nomenclature Organic Compound Functional Group in chemistry.

Key Formulas

Ideal Gas Law

$PV = nRT$

Pressure × Volume = moles × gas constant × temperature.

Molarity

$M = \frac{n}{V}$

Moles of solute per liter of solution.

pH

$pH = -\log_{10}[H^+]$

Measure of acidity.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$P$	Pressure	Pa
$V$	Volume	m³
$n$	Moles	mol
$R$	Gas constant	8.314 J/(mol·K)

General Naming Pattern

The systematic naming (IUPAC nomenclature) of organic compounds follows a defined structure:

Prefix = Substituent(s) First Name = Parent chain length (carbon number) Second Name = Chain saturation (type of bond) Suffix = Highest priority functional group

Chain Saturation Suffixes

The second name is determined by the presence of double or triple bonds in the parent chain.

• Alkane (single bonds only): Suffix -ane
• Alkene (contains at least one double bond): Suffix -ene
• Alkyne (contains at least one triple bond): Suffix -yne
