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').
The prefix form is "carbamoyl-". e.g., HCONH 2 methanamide, CH 3 CONH 2 ethanamide. Amides that have additional substituents on the nitrogen are treated similarly to the case of amines: they are ordered alphabetically with the location prefix N: HCON(CH 3) 2 is N,N-dimethylmethanamide, CH 3 CON(CH 3) 2 is N,N-dimethylethanamide.
Chemical nomenclature is a set of rules to generate systematic names for chemical compounds.The nomenclature used most frequently worldwide is the one created and developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC).
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has published four sets of rules to standardize chemical nomenclature. There are two main areas: IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry (Red Book) IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry (Blue Book)
If four oxyanions are possible, the prefixes hypo-and per-are used: hypochlorite is ClO −, perchlorate is ClO − 4. The prefix bi-is a deprecated way of indicating the presence of a single hydrogen ion, as in "sodium bicarbonate" (NaHCO 3). The modern method specifically names the hydrogen atom.
The IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry, for example, uses the numerical prefixes derived from Greek, except for the prefix for 9 (as mentioned) and the prefixes from 1 to 4 (meth-, eth-, prop-, and but-), which are not derived from words for numbers.
Non-numerical prefixes are italicized and uncapitalized in titles (tert-Butyl alcohol, for example). Both numerical and non-numerical prefixes are followed by a hyphen. The template {{DISPLAYTITLE}} is used to display titles which start with lowercase letters or include italics.
