Naming Organic Compounds – Lesson & Worksheet – Unit 4 – IGCSE Chemistry

Naming Organic Compounds – Lesson & Worksheet – Unit 4 – IGCSE Chemistry
IUPAC Naming Rules, Structural & Displayed Formulae, Reaction Types

This Synapse Science resource covers how to name, write, and classify organic compounds using IUPAC rules. Students learn how to determine the name of straight-chain and branched alkanes and alkenes, identify functional groups, and write structural and displayed formulae.

TOPICS COVERED – SPECIFICATION POINTS

• 4.4: Understand how to name compounds using IUPAC rules (up to six carbon atoms)
• 4.5: Understand how to write structural and displayed formulae from molecular formulae
• 4.6: Classify reactions of organic compounds as substitution, addition and combustion (reaction mechanisms not required)

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Editable PowerPoint lesson with clear prefixes, suffixes, and worked examples
• Printable worksheet with scaffolded tasks and naming questions
• Summary of organic reaction types with real examples
• Clean layout to build confidence with visual and applied tasks

KEY FEATURES

• Covers naming of straight-chain and branched hydrocarbons
• Students practise naming and drawing compounds from formulas
• Functional group suffixes included: alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, carboxylic acids
• Reaction classification made simple with diagrams and summary rules
• Aligned to Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry Unit 4 (Paper 2 / Triple)
