In Organic Chemistry there is a system for naming different organic compounds, called the IUPAC naming system. There are numerous organic compounds, due mainly to the bonding abilities of carbon. Each type of carbon-carbon bond and each functional group bonded to a carbon, form different family groups; esters, alcohols and carboxylic acids are separate family groups within Organic Chemistry. Alcohols are also known as alkanols and contain a hydroxyl group (-OH). Carboxylic acids contain a carboxyl group (O=C-OH) and are also known as alkanoic acids. An alkyl group is a straight chain of carbons with one spare bond, which bonds usually to another carbon. Esters are also known as alkyl alkanoates and are a combination of carboxylic acids and alcohols. A branched chain is a straight chain of carbons with an alkyl or aryl group attached.

The IUPAC naming system for naming organic compounds is as follows:

1. Find the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms, which if necessary contains the most significant functional group V this is the parent stem. (The parent stem is the most important straight chain in the compound. A functional group is a polyatomic
