Organic Nomenclature for the NSW HSC

This RACI nomenclature document is being reissued due to growing concerns that teachers of chemistry are not using these rules correctly. In particular, the rules regarding haloalkane nomenclature need to be closely studied by all chemistry teachers as some textbooks and resources have not followed these rules. IUPAC uses the alphanumeric nomenclature system. Older methods using electronegativity differences between substituent groups are no longer valid.
