• Whether in a continuous chain or a ring, the longest chain of carbons joined by a single bond serves as the basis for IUPAC nomenclature.
• According to a particular set of priorities, all deviations, whether multiple bonds or atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are denoted by prefixes or suffixes.
• The IUPAC, or International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, established some guidelines for naming carbon compounds.
• To keep things uniform over the world, this was done.
• These names are referred to as IUPAC names in common usage.
