For beginning students, the study of nomenclature (system of naming chemicals) can seem impossibly complex. For that reason, the rules and drills presented here are broken down into Units, and it is not advisable to study all the units at one sitting, but to take it one unit at a time. If you are not able to spread out your work over several days, you should at least take a break in between units.
