Hydrocarbon Nomenclature Explained | Naming of Alkanes, Alkenes & Alkynes | Organic Chemistry Part-3

Описание: Welcome to NirHix TechLearn 🚀
A dedicated platform for clear, conceptual, and exam-oriented Chemistry learning.

In this video, we continue the Hydrocarbons chapter (Part-3) and explain Hydrocarbon Nomenclature — how Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes are named based on the number of carbon atoms and the type of bonds (single, double, triple).
This lecture builds logically on Part-1 (Basics & Classification) and Part-2 (Alkanes, Alkenes & Alkynes) and strengthens the foundation of Organic Chemistry naming concepts.

Understanding nomenclature is extremely important because every organic reaction, formula, and structure starts with the correct name of the compound.
