the process of assigning two names to an organism is known as binomial nomenclature
the first name represents genus and second name represents specific epithet.
they are generally written in italics when handwritten are separately underlined .
the first word is written in capital and second word in small letter.
examples- Mangifera indica (these will be separately underlined)(mango)
Homo sapeins (man)...

Binomial Nomenclature is a system developed by a famous biologist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778).
The first or the generic word represents a genus. It is like a noun and it's first letter is always written in capital form. The second word or a specific epithet represents the species. It is like an adjective and it's first letter is written in small form except occasionally when it denotes a person or a place. To the two word name is appended the name of taxonomist who initially discovered the organism and provided it with its scientific name, e.g., Fi.cu.s bengalensis, Magnifera Indica Linn., Homo sapiens Linnaeus. The name of the taxonomist can be written in full or abbreviated form.
There are several technical terms or names which have three words, e.g., Homo sapiens sapiens, Acacia nilotica indica, Gorilla gorilla gorilla. Here, the first words are represented as a generic form, the second specific while the third word represents variety (mostly in binomial literature) or a subspecies (mostly used in zoological literature).
