Defi
same molecular formula
Isomers
different CONNECTIVITY of atoms
CONSTITUTIONAL
different FUNCTIONAL groups
Functional
different POSITIONS of functional group
Positional
different CARBON skeleton
Skeletal
same CONNECTIVITY but different SPATIAL ORIENTATION of atoms
Stereoisomers
different, non-interconverting spatial arrangement of atoms; not the result of rotation about single bonds; different compounds
Configurational
different, interconverting spatial arrangement of atoms; result of rotation about single bonds; same compound
Conformational
Result from RESTRICTED ROTATION around double bond or on cyclic alkanes
Geometric
Around a CHIRAL carbon
Optical
nonsuperimposable mirror images
Enantiomers
nonmirror images
Diastereomers
Usually uses the name given when it was discovered
Common
Names compounds as DERIVATIVE of a parent compound
Derived
IUPAC acronym
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
it is the most systematic naming and it is based on the LONGEST CONTINUOUS CHAIN of
C atoms
IUPAC
position/s, number, & name/s of substituents; number of C of
parent functional group
Prefixes
position and name of functional group
Suffix
Where and what are the substituent
Prefix

Parent
Where is the primary functional group?
Locant

Suffix
Contains carbon and hydrogen only
Hydrocarbons
Open chain (acyclic)
Aliphatic
Straight and Branched
Aliphatic
Has a closed ring but no aromaticity
Alicyclic
