IUPAC Red Book

The IUPAC Red Book is a globally recognized guideline that provides standardized rules for naming inorganic chemical compounds. It ensures consistency and clarity in chemical communication, so scientists worldwide can understand exactly which substances are being referred to without confusion. The Red Book covers naming conventions for elements, ions, acids, salts, and complex compounds, establishing systematic terminology and notation. This standardization supports accurate research, education, and industrial applications by creating a common chemical language that is precise, unambiguous, and universally accepted.
