Hydrocarbons can be aliphatic or aromatic. When an aliphatic hydrocarbon contains a tertiary or quaternary carbon atom, that is a branched hydrocarbon.

These leads to the formation of millions of different organic compounds, many of which are isomers. Structural isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas. It is important that each unique isomer has its own unique name. These names are systematically determined by a series of steps.

To do this, start at the end that will give the smallest numbers possible to the carbon atoms where the branches originate. The substituents are named by placing the number from the parent carbon chain in front of the name of the substituent. Use a prefix to indicate the appearance of more than one of the same substituent in the structural formula.
