ACTIVITY NO. 3 NAMING OF

COMPOUNDS

Accuracy and precision are highly desired in analytical and clinical laboratory results. Adherence to the standard
methods and protocols is one way of ensuring that precise and accurate results are achieved. Quality
management of laboratory results starts from ascertaining that the most appropriate if not the highest grade of
reagents are used during analysis. It is very important therefore, in certified laboratories that there must be no
room for ambiguity in what chemical compound is being referred to by a chemical name. Each chemical name
invoked by a chemist or laboratory scientist must correspond to a single substance.

There are common names used for some substances such as water, ammonia, and methane. Nonetheless,
making and using systematic names must be pursued. It is contributory in maintaining best practices in the
laboratory and nurturing inter-laboratory reliability. It will pay to know the rules set by the International Union
of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) that are widely used in the field of chemistry and its related fields.

OBJECTIVES

This activity aims to enable the student to gain mastery of the rules in the systematic naming of compounds
given the chemical formula.
