In the ICZN, the system is also called binominal nomenclature, [1] "binomi'N'al" with an "N" before the "al", which is not a typographic error, meaning "two-name naming system". [ 2 ] The first part of the name – the generic name – identifies the genus to which the species belongs, whereas the second part – the specific name or specific ...

The longest possible main alkane chain is used; therefore 3-ethyl-4-methylhexane instead of 2,3-diethylpentane, even though these describe equivalent structures. The di-, tri- etc. prefixes are ignored for the purpose of alphabetical ordering of side chains (e.g. 3-ethyl-2,4-dimethylpentane, not 2,4-dimethyl-3-ethylpentane).
IUPAC states that, "As one of its major activities, IUPAC develops Recommendations to establish unambiguous, uniform, and consistent nomenclature and terminology for specific scientific fields, usually presented as: glossaries of terms for specific chemical disciplines; definitions of terms relating to a group of properties; nomenclature of chemical compounds and their classes; terminology ...

The use of the term hydrate is still acceptable e.g. Na 2 SO 4 ·10H 2 O, sodium sulfate decahydrate. The recommended method would be to name it sodium sulfate—water(1/10). Similarly other examples of lattice compounds are: CaCl 2 ·8NH 3, calcium chloride— ammonia (1/8) 2Na 2 CO 3 ·3H 2 O 2, sodium carbonate—hydrogen peroxide (2/3)
Because the S 2− anion has a subscript of 2 in the formula (giving a 4− charge), the compound must be balanced with a 4+ charge on the Pb cation (lead can form cations with a 4+ or a 2+ charge). Thus, the compound is made of one Pb 4+ cation to every two S 2− anions, the compound is balanced, and its name is written as lead(IV) sulfide.
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]).
