This document provides practice problems for naming organic compounds. It includes exercises to identify classes of compounds and provide IUPAC names, draw structural formulas, and name molecular formulas with possible open-chain structures. The solutions identify the classes and provide systematic IUPAC names for compounds, draw the structural formulas as requested, and name the possible open-chain isomers for the given molecular formulas.
