Question

What is IUPAC nomenclature? In the IUPAC nomenclature, what does 'prefix-parent-
suffix indicate?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

In general, the base part of the name reflects the number of carbons in what you have assigned to be the parent chain. The suffix of the name reflects the type(s) of functional group(s) present on (or within) the parent chain. Other groups which are attached to the parent chain are called substituents.
