RC-80 |
 | | Because of conflicts with Hantzsch-Widman names for heteromonocycles (ref 3e, 11), stems for mononuclear hydrides of bismuth and the chalcogen elements are "bismuth", "oxid", "sulf", "sel", "tell", and "pol". |
 | | The names for higher polynuclear unbranched saturated hydrocarbons are formed by combining a numerical prefix equal to the number of carbon atoms in the chain with the ending "ane", for example, pentane, icosane, and tritriacontane. |
 | | Names for polynuclear acyclic parent hydrides other than hydrocarbons are formed by adding a numerical prefix equal to the number of atoms of the element in the chain to the name of the mononuclear hydride in RC-80.9.1 (ref 4e), for example, disilane, triazane, tetrasulfane. |
