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.
