Organic compounds are those that contain carbon. A few types of compounds such as carbonates, simple oxides of carbon and cyanides, as well as the allotropes of carbon, are considered inorganic. There are about 10 million different organic compounds and 10,000 new ones being found or synthesized each year. But don't worry--they're fairly simple to name. | Organic compounds are those that contain carbon.

#Learn how to [[Name a Hydrocarbon Chain Using the IUPAC Method|name hydrocarbons]]. ''Halo''carbons, organic compounds containing one or more ''halo''gens, are named using the same procedure. Take the name of the element attached (chlorine) and replace the -ine with -o (chloro). Use the same group prefixes to describe the amount. Ex: CF<sub>3</sub>CHBrCl is named 2-bromo-2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane. | #Learn how to [[Name a Hydrocarbon Chain Using the IUPAC Method|name hydrocarbons]].
