What is International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry?
<!--{{Infobox organization |name=International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry }}-->The '''International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry''' ('''IUPAC''') is an international organisation that represents chemists in individual countries. It governs everything to do with chemicals, elements and new discoveries. Every chemical known has a [[Chemical nomenclature|common name]] and a IUPAC name. This is also true for the [[Periodic table|Periodic Table of the Elements]]. Every element's name has been approved by IUPAC. This rule does not apply to those elements still given temporary names. The organisation was founded in 1919. == Other websites == * {{Official website|http://www.iupac.org}} * [https://en.citizendium.org/wiki/International_Union_of_Pure_and_Applied_Chemistry IUPAC] -Citizendium {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Chemistry]] [[Category:Scientific organizations]]
