The acid halide functional group is assumed to be on the end of the parent chain, so it is not necessary to include the functional group location number in the name.

Open chain nitriles are named with the word -nitrile after the name of the parent alkane name (include the carbon atom of the nitrile as part of the parent - as in the example CH 3 CN has two carbons including the nitrile carbon, therefore it is ethanenitrile).

It emphasizes understanding the priority of functional groups, especially for molecules with multiple functionalities, and highlights key naming conventions. Common and IUPAC names for carboxylic acids and the process for naming salts, dicarboxylic acids, and nitriles are explained.

It explains how to derive names based on the structure or how to draw structures from given names. Additionally, it outlines specific guidelines for naming primary, secondary, tertiary amides, and symmetrical and asymmetrical anhydrides, alongside examples for clarification.
