International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) is a global organization that sets standards for chemistry, including naming chemical elements, compounds, and terminology. Its goal is to ensure clear and consistent communication among scientists worldwide. By establishing universally accepted conventions and classifications, IUPAC helps researchers accurately share and compare findings, facilitating advancements in chemistry and related fields. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and clarity of chemical information across different countries and disciplines.
