Formula: C10H8
Molecules seldom have names they are usually refered to by their chemical formula.
By an organization named the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
The disadvantage of common names is that they do not tell you the chemical formula. Common names advantages are that non chemists can identify them/
A chemical formula is the way a particular chemical (element or compound) is represented using the letters given in the Periodic Table. For example, the chemical formula of oxygen is O2 and the chemical formula of caron dioxide is CO2A word equation describes a chemical reactionusing the names of chemicals only. For instance, the word equation for respiration is:glucose + oxygen => carbon dioxide + waterA formula equation also describes a chemical reaction, but uses chemical formulae instead of names and is balanced. An example of this would be methane burning in oxygen:CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O
Ethanol (this is the official name after the IUPAC rules), ethyl alcohol, ethylic alcohol; the chemical formula is C2H5OH.
NaCl is the formula unit of sodium chloride; Na is the chemical symbol of sodium and Cl is the chemical symbol of chlorine.
NaOH is the chemical formula of sodium hydroxide (common names are caustic soda or lye).
Energy has no chemical formula as it is not a chemical.
Most chemical compound names are taken from what and how many atoms that they are made of. For instance, diphosphorus decoxide is di- (2) phosphorus dec- (10) oxide, or, P2O10.
Cu2O. Cuprous is Cu+, cupric is Cu2+. Those are old-school names. Copper(I) oxide is a better name.
