Meth, Eth, Prop, But, Pent, Hex, Hept, Oct, Non, Dec.

They are in increasing order Meth for 1 carbon atom, Eth for 2 carbon atoms and so on.

They are prefixes for naming of organic compounds according to the IUPAC system.

The IUPAC system assigns only one name to the compound. A systematic name of an organic compound may consist of :

  • Root word - This depends upon the number of carbon atoms selected present in the longest carbon chain
  • Suffix - The suffix added to the appropriate root word
  • Prefix - This denote substituents (alkyl group or functional group) if present in the carbon chain.
