[stef.]

what is the difference between... IUPAC, systematic, structual, molecular and extended structural..formula??

say for PVC..

IUPAC - 1-chloro-ethene
systematic - chloroethene
structural - the picture
molecular - C2H3Cl
extended structural - ?? no idea

someone verify me

who cares..

just know that in the syllabus, systematic name means IUPAC name. common name means common name.

there's empirical formula as well

IUPAC only matters for isomers anyway
