Nomenclature is an essential part of academic discipline
but in chemistry it assumes a particular significance. The nomenclature
of chemical compounds is systematic: names and formulae are constructed
from units manipulated to provide information on composition and structure.
To understand chemistry, students must have a firm grasp of the principles
of its nomenclature. Without this they are lost. Principles of Chemical
Nomenclature is the definitive work for them, mandated by the authoritative
voice of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
