• Students are required to use?systematic nomenclature?of simple?aliphatic compounds
• The following method can be applied when naming organic compounds:
  • Identify the longest carbon chain containing the functional group
  • Identify the functional group on the chain to determine the suffix or prefix on the compound
  • Count along the carbon chain such that the functional group has the?lowest?number
  • Add any?side chains?or lower priority functional groups as?prefixes?to the beginning of the name in?alphabetic order
  • Use the prefixes di-, tri- and tetra- if there are?two or more identical functional groups?or?side chains

• The method used to name?aromatic compounds?is similar to that of?aliphatic compounds
• Students are required to use systematic nomenclature of simple aromatic molecules with one benzene ring and one or more?simple substituents
