IUPAC nomenclature of chemistry

International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has published four sets of rules to standardize chemical nomenclature.

There are two main areas:

IUPAC nomenclature of inorganic chemistry (Red Book)
IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry (Blue Book)

Use

IUPAC nomenclature is used for the naming of chemical compounds, based on their chemical composition and their structure. For example, one can deduce that 1-chloropropane has a Chlorine atom on the first carbon in the 3-carbon propane chain.
