Nemus said:If you look at the 3d structures it should be fairly obvious
Trans ("other side") to the right, cis (same side") to the left.
Chemical nomenclature is a set of rules and guidelines used to name chemical compounds in a systematic and standardized manner. It allows scientists and researchers to communicate and understand the composition and properties of different chemicals.
Chemical nomenclature is important because it helps to avoid confusion and misunderstandings when communicating about chemicals. It also provides a way to identify and classify different compounds, making it easier to organize and study them.
The two main types of chemical nomenclature are systematic and common. Systematic nomenclature follows a set of rules and guidelines to create names based on the composition and structure of a compound, while common nomenclature uses more familiar names, often based on historical or common usage.
A chemical name is determined based on the specific rules and guidelines of the type of nomenclature being used. For systematic nomenclature, the name is typically derived from the chemical formula and structural information of the compound. For common nomenclature, the name may be based on its appearance, use, or origin.
Some common mistakes in chemical nomenclature include incorrect spelling or formatting of names, using outdated or incorrect naming conventions, and confusing similar compounds with different names. It is important to carefully follow the rules and guidelines of the chosen nomenclature system to avoid these mistakes.
