    The document classifies functional groups into principal and subordinate categories. It lists the common structure, suffix name, and prefix name for each principal functional group including carboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, esters, acyl chlorides, amides, nitriles, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, amines, alkenes, alkynes, and alkanes. Subordinate groups include ethers, halides, and nitro groups. Principal groups have established priority order for nomenclature, while subordinate groups have no order. Principal groups can be used as prefixes or suffixes, while subordinate groups are only prefixes.

    Principal functional groups are listed in order of decreasing priority, but the subordinate groups have no
    established priority order. Principal functional groups may be cited either as prefixes or as suffixes;
    subordinate functional groups may be cited only as prefixes.
