Classification and IUPAC Nomenclature
How organic compounds are grouped, and the systematic rules for naming them.
Classification of Organic Compounds
Organic compounds are broadly classified based on their carbon skeleton (open-chain or cyclic) and the functional groups they contain.
IUPAC Nomenclature
The IUPAC system provides a standard, unambiguous way to name organic compounds based on their structure, so every compound has one systematic name.
