Answer 1

Explanation:

Do you know initially there was no proper system of naming a compound even though nomenclature and nature of C-X bond is an essential part of organic chemistry? There were just trivial names given on the basis of country and region. Sometimes the naming of a compound was done on the basis of the discoverer, nature of compound or even the place of the discovery.

However, soon scientists realized that the naming system was not standard and it can lead to confusion. Therefore, there was the need for a standard naming system of compounds including organic compounds. This led IUPAC to develop a certain set of rules that can be used universally for the naming of organic compounds.
