Nomenclature of Organic Compounds Worksheet

Naming organic compounds is described how to name straight-chain hydrocarbons and their derivatives. (if you aren’t familiar with the systematic nomenclature for those compounds, do that worksheet first, and do this one later.) This worksheet will describe how to name simple cyclic hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds, and organic compounds with common functional groups.

Here, you can find some questions related to “Nomenclature of Organic Compounds” and their answers:
