Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 20RQ
Why are common names often used for chemical compounds instead of systematic names?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The reason for using common names for chemical compounds instead of systematic names
Answer to Problem 20RQ
Because the common names are related to their source of originsand are better to understand than the systematic names, so they are more frequently used.
Explanation of Solution
Systematic names are given to the chemical compounds using a set of chemical nomenclature which are sometimes very lengthy as compared to the common names which are in much use and are better to understand. Also the common names have relations with their source of origin, so common names are often used for the chemical compounds instead of systematic names.
Conclusion:
Therefore, common names are more in use.

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop).
