Question

State any five Common Names that do not follow the
IUPAC system of nomenclature ?

Expert Solution

Step 1

As a large number of organic compounds are being discovered everyday, it is very difficult to assign and remember a unique name for every compound. Hence, a more systematic way of naming organic compounds and hydrocarbons was introduced by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry). The rules subjected by the association were further known as the IUPAC method of nomenclature.
