IUPAC Nomenclature

The video tutorial explains the concept of functional groups in organic chemistry, highlighting their role as reactive sites in molecules. It covers the IUPAC nomenclature for various functional groups, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, alkenes, alkynes, carboxylic acids, and halogens. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on naming these compounds by identifying the longest carbon chain and applying the appropriate suffixes based on the functional group present.
