An IUPAC name for an organic molecule is simply a code. For example to decode the name 2,3-dimethylbutane it is necessary to take the name apart.
Naming aromatic compounds isn't quite so straightforward as naming chain compounds.Each part of the name gives you useful information about the structure of the molecule.
Within this organic molecules worksheet, students classify organic compounds, they name organic compounds using the IUPAC naming system, they complete chemical reactions of organic compounds, and they draw structural formulas of isomers. Often, more than one name is acceptable and it's not uncommon to find the old names still in use as well.
