Q. What is IUPAC System
of Nomenclature?
Ans. In 1957. the
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) evolved a scheme for
assigning systematic names to organic compounds on the basis of structure.
This is known as IUPAC system.
This system has set rules for naming organic molecules from the structural
formula. ;
Q. What is the significance
of IUPAC name?
Ans. An IUPAC name is
unambiguous i.e., one compound has one name only. It is superior to a trivial
name because it gives an. insight into the structure of a molecule. Knowing the
IUPAC name of a compound, we can at once write its structural formula.
