science and science world
Phencyclidine is the common scientific name of PCP. The IUPAC name (a name that reveals the structure of a molecule) is 1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine. The common scientific name of LSD is Lysergic acid diethylamide while the IUPAC name is (6aR,9R)- N,N- diethyl- 7-methyl- 4,6,6a,7,8,9- hexahydroindolo- [4,3-fg] quinoline- 9-carboxamide,
Basic science is simply science that is easy and uncomplicated. An example of this can be the names of the planets.

Because common names differ with language, while scientific names are always the same, no matter what language. Ex: Canis Lupis
Common names might not be as common as you think. Organisms can be known by several different common names, depending on when and where you are. Inversely, several different plants may be referred to with the same common name, depending on their similarities. Scientific names never change, and no two differing organisms have the same scientific name. This allows for a better understanding and grouping of organisms within the scientific community.
The scientific name is important in biology because the other names, the common names, are not specific. They often refer to more than one species. It is important in science to be specific, otherwise your results are worthless.
Nasopharyngitis or rhinopharyngitis are scientific names for the cold. Some people just all it rhinovirus.
One example is the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), which has the same common name and scientific name.
Common names vary greatly from one location to another. One example is the mountain lion, also known as the puma and cougar, as well as several other common names. However, scientific names are the same worldwide. The scientific name of the puma/cougar/mountain lion is Puma concolor. So if you want to talk to other scientists about this animal, you would use the scientific name rather than the common name to avoid confusion.

what is the difference between the common and scientific name of an organisms

Scientific names are very specific. The common names of many animals are just that, common. One common name may be the widely accepted name for multiple animals or plants. Common names for plants and animals also vary with region.
Scientists find it easier to use scientific names instead of common names, that way another scientist will no exactly what gender, size, hair/fur color.hi
