Compound nomenclature - Chemical compound nomenclature

Japanese: 化合物命名法 - かごうぶつめいめいほう
Compound nomenclature - Chemical compound nomenclature
In the early days of chemistry, the number of chemical substances handled was not so large, and there was no problem with using habitual and vague names or names given by the discoverers themselves (many of which were based on appearance, people's names, place names, or other vague reasons). However, as chemistry developed and a huge number of compounds were recorded, such ununiform and unsystematic naming methods began to cause confusion and even misunderstandings, hindering the development of chemistry.

Japanese:
古く,化学が成立していく初期段階では,取り扱われる化学物質の数もあまり多くなく,習慣的なあいまいな名称や,発見者が勝手につけた名称(外観や,人名,地名あるいはあいまいな理由からきたものが多かった)を用いていても,それほど不都合なこともなかった。しかし化学の発展とともに,膨大な数の化合物が記録されてくると,そのような非統一的,非組織的な命名法では混乱を生じ,さらには誤解をまねくことになり,化学の発展をさまたげるようになる。
