what do you mean by preffix and suffix in chemistry nomenculture


WRITE ALL THE FUCTIONAL GROUP AND WHETHER IT IS USED IN PREFFIX OR SUFFIX
AND WRITE ALL THE FUCTIONAL GROUP PRESENT IN THIS WORLD



BEST ANSWER WILL BE MARKES BRAINLIST SURELY


rIshavQ: The purpose of organic chemistrynomenclature is to indicate how many carbon atoms are in a chain, how the atoms are bonded together, and the identity and location of any functional groups in the molecule.
rIshavQ: A prefix to the name comes before the molecule. The prefix of the molecule'sname is based on the number of carbon atoms.

A prefix to the name comes before the molecule. ... The suffix to the name is an ending that it applied that describes the types of chemical bonds in the molecule. An IUPAC name also includes the names of substituent groups (aside from hydrogen) that make up the molecular structure.

I am hoping you to understand the concept via Hydrocarbon molecule nomenclature, as it is the most common and important nomenclature.

The purpose of organic chemistry nomenclature is to indicate how many carbon atoms are in a chain, how the atoms are bonded together, and the identity and location of any functional groups in the molecule. 

A prefix to the name comes before the molecule. The prefix of the molecule'sname is based on the number of carbon atoms.

While the suffix to the name is an ending that it applied that describes the types of chemical bonds in the molecule.
suffix or ending of the name of a hydrocarbon depends on the nature of the chemical bonds between the carbon atoms. The suffix is -ane if all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds (formula CnH2n+2), -ene if at least one carbon-carbon bond is a double bond (formula CnH2n), and -yne is there is at least one carbon-carbon triple bond (formula CnH2n-2). There are other important organic suffixes:

-ol means the molecule is an alcohol or contains the -C-OH functional group

-al means the molecule is an aldehyde or contains the O=C-H functional group

-amine means the molecule is an amine with the -C-NH2 functional group

-ic acid indicates a carboxylic acid, which has the O=C-OH functional group

-ether indicates an ether, which has the -C-O-C- functional group

-ate is an ester, which has the O=C-O-C functional group

-one is a ketone, which has the -C=O functional group

NOW THE PREFIXES OF HYDROCARBONS (number beside the formula defines number of present Carbon atoms) and the C2, C3 etc are the formula.

meth-1C
eth-2C2
prop-3C3

but-4C4

pent-5C5

hex-6C6

hept-7C7

oct-8C8

non-9C9

dec-10C10

undec-11C11

dodec-12C12

tridec-13C13

tetradec-14C14

pentadec-15C15

hexadec-16C16

heptadec-17C17

octadec-18C18

nonadec-19C19

eicosan-20C20

Remembering these prefixes upto 10 would be suffice for your study purpose.

One more thing is that you should be aware of the Common names of hydrocarbons like phenyl, steryl.etc.

Happy Learning
