In "Guided" mode, you will be guided through the process of drawing the structure in a stepwise manner, and detailed feedback will be provided at each stage. In the default "Problem" mode, you can test yourself by drawing the structure of the molecule directly into the molecular editor window, some feedback will be provided, and your score will be updated. How To Use This Page: First, choose the family of compounds you want to work on, choose an "Easy", "Medium" or "Difficult" problem. Note that 3 points are deducted for each incorrect answer, and your score will be reset to zero if you reload the page.
Set your own goals to suit your learning needs, but one measure of completing the section would be to achieve a score (below right, in green) of at least 40 points from 50 for five "Difficult" problems from the "All functional groups" category.
On this page you can learn about the nomenclature of organic compounds by drawing structures corresponding to IUPAC names. Although software is increasingly used both to assign names to structures and to derive structures from names, it is still important that chemists be able to understand IUPAC names. The most widely used system of nomenclature is that formulated by the International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry, usually called the IUPAC system. On completing these problems you should be able to:ĭraw the structures of moderately complex organic molecules from the IUPAC name.ĭemonstrate an understanding of the principles of organic nomenclature.īecause the number of known organic structures runs to many millions, and the number of possible structures is infinite, a sophisticated nomenclature system that is capable of naming structures unambiguously is needed.
