A mnemonic is a memory aid used to improve long-term memory and make the process of consolidation easier. Many chemistry aspects, rules, names of compounds, sequences of elements, their reactivity, etc., can be easily and efficiently memorized with the help of mnemonics.
International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients; International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry; IUPAC Color Books; IUPAC Inorganic Chemistry Division; IUPAC nomenclature for organic chemical transformations; IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry; IUPAC nomenclature of ...
Chemical nomenclature, replete as it is with compounds with very complex names, is a repository for some names that may be considered unusual. A browse through the Physical Constants of Organic Compounds in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (a fundamental resource) will reveal not just the whimsical work of chemists, but the sometimes peculiar compound names that occur as the ...
Chemical nomenclature however (with IUPAC nomenclature as the best example) is necessarily more restrictive: Its purpose is to standardize communication and practice so that, when a chemical term is used it has a fixed meaning relating to chemical structure, thereby giving insights into chemical properties and derived molecular functions. These ...
Classic Chemistry. Based on Guyton de Morveau, Louis Bernard ; Lavoisier, Antoine ; Bertholet, Claude-Louis ; Fourcroy, Antoine-François de (1788) [1787]. Method of chymical nomenclature, proposed by Messrs. de Morveau, Lavoisier, Bertholet, and de Fourcroy: To which is added A new system of chymical characters adapted to the nomenclature by Mess.
In chemistry, a systematic name describes the chemical structure of a chemical substance, thus giving some information about its chemical properties.. The Compendium of Chemical Terminology published by the IUPAC defines systematic name as "a name composed wholly of specially coined or selected syllables, with or without numerical prefixes; e.g. pentane, oxazole."
The numbers 200-900 would be confused easily with 22 to 29 if they were used in chemistry. khīlioi = 1000, diskhīlioi = 2000, triskhīlioi = 3000, etc. 13 to 19 are formed by starting with the Greek word for the number of ones, followed by και (the Greek word for 'and'), followed by δέκα (the Greek word for 'ten').
For example, in the CAS scheme "group VIIB" denotes manganese group (group 7), while in the old IUPAC scheme it denotes halogen group (group 17). If they are used at all, context should clarify (disambiguate) into the 1–18 numbering. Care should be taken when translating old sources that use this nomenclature to modern terminology.
