Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The suffix that is used to name the given compound has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
All the molecules have their unique names. These names must be known in order to communicate. But remembering all the chemical names is impossible as there are many numbers of molecules. To avoid this, the
Stereoisomerism | Substituents | Parent | Unsaturation | Functional Group |
Stereoisomerism indicate if the considered molecule has any stereocenters are present (R,S) and if double bond is present are cis/trans.
The groups that are connected to the main carbon chain is known as substituents.
The longest carbon chain is known as the parent.
Unsaturation indicates that if any triple or double bonds are present in the molecule.
Functional group is the one after which the considered compound is being named.
Functional Group | Class of compound | Suffix |
![]() | Ester | -oate |
![]() | -one | |
![]() | -al | |
![]() | -oic acid | |
![]() | Alcohol | -ol |
![]() | -amine |
