The formula Na 2 SO 3 denotes that the cation is sodium, or Na +, and that the anion is the sulfite ion (SO 2− 3). Therefore, this compound is named sodium sulfite. If the given formula is Ca(OH) 2, it can be seen that OH − is the hydroxide ion. Since the charge on the calcium ion is 2+, it makes sense there must be two OH − ions
Although the basic principles are fairly similar, the treatment of synonyms in botanical nomenclature differs in detail and terminology from zoological nomenclature, where the correct name is included among synonyms, although as first among equals it is the "senior synonym": Synonyms in botany are equivalent to "junior synonyms" in zoology.
Nomenclature (UK: / n oʊ ˈ m ɛ ŋ k l ə tʃ ə, n ə-/, US: / ˈ n oʊ m ə n k l eɪ tʃ ər /) [1] [2] is a system of names or terms, or the rules for forming these terms in a particular field of arts or sciences. [3] (The theoretical field studying nomenclature is sometimes referred to as onymology or taxonymy [4]).
The hierarchy of scientific classification. Taxonomy mnemonics are used to memorize the scientific classification applied in taxonomy. They are usually constructed with a series of words that begin with the letters KPCOFGS, corresponding to the initials of the primary taxonomic ranks.
Advice, Practice, Licence etc. (those with c) are nouns and Advise, Practise, License etc. are verbs. One way of remembering this is that the word ' n oun' comes before the word ' v erb' in the dictionary; likewise ' c' comes before ' s' , so the n ouns are 'practi c e, licen c e, advi c e' and the v erbs are 'practi s e, licen s e, advi s e'.
At the time when biologist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) published the books that are now accepted as the starting point of binomial nomenclature, Latin was used in Western Europe as the common language of science, and scientific names were in Latin or Greek: Linnaeus continued this practice.
In the example, there is a bromo-substituted -CH 2-CH 2 - subunit. 1-Bromoethane-1,2-diyl is chosen in preference to 2- bromoethane-1,2-diyl as the former has a lower locant for the bromo-substituent. The preferred CRU is therefore oxy(1-bromoethane-1,2-diyl) and the polymer is thus named poly[oxy(1-bromoethane-1,2-diyl)].
If it applies but no heteroatom is found in a chain, it is preferred over multiplicative nomenclature. Example: 3-phospha-2,5,7-trisilaoctane refers to CH 3-SiH 2-PH-CH 2-SiH 2-CH 2-SiH 2-CH 3. Skeletal replacement mainly replaces carbon with other atoms, or in the case of phane nomenclature, whole "superatom" rings.
