Question

How to form iupac names of element?

Answer 1

A good general rule to follow is to start at the end (the suffix) and work backwards (from right to left) in the name.

Functional group suffix

alkane -ane

alkene -ene

alkyne -yne

alcohol -ol

aldehyde -al

ketone -one

carboxylic acid -oic acid

ester -oate

Molecules can contain both double or triple bonds and other functional groups (e.g. an alkene and an alcohol functional group in one molecule - propenol). However, all molecules explored in this book will contain only single carbon-carbon bonds when combined with other functional groups.
