Yes; today official scientific names of chemical substances are established by IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry). Each country has a specific adaptation for this terminology.
Also, exist numerical codes for chemical substances: CAS registry number (CAS is Chemical Abstract Service).
explain how a scientific names gives informaion about a living thing and its close relatives
A non-living thing does not have a scientific name because scientific names are used to classify and describe living organisms based on their characteristics and relationships. Scientific names are given to species, genera, families, and other taxonomic categories within the living world.
genus and species
Scientific names are based on biological and evolutionary relationships.
Many do, some are pending scientific names.
Scientific names contain information about organisms.
Yes, all organisms have scientific names. Thus planarians have scientific names too.
That IS the scientific name.
Systematic names are better than common names because they provide a clear, standardized way to identify substances, reducing confusion caused by regional variations in common names. They are based on established nomenclature rules, which convey information about the chemical structure and composition of a compound. This precision is especially important in scientific communication, ensuring that researchers and professionals can accurately identify and discuss specific substances without ambiguity.
because there are so many different variations of scientific names.
Binomial nomenclature (scientific names) include a genus name followed by a species name. These names are generally Classical (Latin or Ancient Greek) terms.
the scientific names is Basidiomycetes
