Let's check this video https://youtu.be/UDIupJRhosI ALCOHOL All alcohols contain the -OH group, for example ethanol. Alcohol has similar chemical properties. All ethers contain an -O- group, for example dimethylters. Ether has similar chemical properties. Groups such as -OH and -O- are replaced in hydrocarbon chains called functional groups. They dominate chemical molecules and provide characteristic properties. The hydrocarbon chain is the symbol of R. The naming of organic compounds is divided into two, named naming according to IUPAC (systematic name) and trivial naming (common name). Naming according to IUPAC is established by IUPAC (International Union and Pure Applied Chemistry), whereas trivial naming is a naming system that has been known before the establishment of the naming system according to the IUPAC. The trivial name is more popular in industry and commerce because of its easy mention. Nomenclature of Alcohol (alkanol) IUPAC: Alcohol is a derived compound ...
