IUPAC Nomenclature of Haloalkanes and Alcohols

The video tutorial explains the naming conventions for hydrocarbons with different substituents, focusing on haloalkanes and alcohols. It covers identifying the longest carbon chain, numbering it to prioritize substituents, and listing them alphabetically. The tutorial emphasizes the priority of hydroxyl groups over alkyl and halogen substituents and provides examples to illustrate these rules.
