Question

Give introduction about IUPAC System ?

Expert Solution

Step 1

IUPAC stands for International union of pure and applied chemistry. This is a common platform to name the organic compound. There are billions of organic compounds present. And many compounds are discovered per day. So, it is difficult to remember the name of one and each. Therefore, a common platform is used to name a series of compounds. This system is applicable worldwide. If the IUPAC system would not be there then it may lead to international fights for the name of a compound.
