IUPAC Nomenclature Rules (Full Rule List + Tie‑Breakers)

IUPAC nomenclature rules don’t feel hard because you’re “bad at naming” - they feel hard because the rules are scattered. This video puts the entire IUPAC naming system in one place: rules, subrules, and tie‑breakers - so you have a reference you can return to all semester. Quick wins you’ll get here: /\/\/ The 5 parts of every IUPAC name (and the order never changes) /\/\/ How to choose the parent chain using priority functional groups /\/\/ The numbering rules (including how ties are broken) /\/\/ How to handle substituents, alphabetizing, and punctuation /\/\/ Where stereochemistry goes (and how it’s listed) This is a heavy video on purpose - pause, take notes, and keep it open next to practice problems later. What step are you stuck on right now? Parent chain? Numbering? Alphabetizing? Functional group priority?
