Common Name
A common name of a compound is a non-systematic, traditional, or trivial name often derived from its source, historical use, or physical properties rather than its chemical structure. Unlike systematic (IUPAC) names, common names are frequently used in daily life, industry, or commerce for convenience.
For example, Water (H2O) instead of dihydrogen monoxide,or salt for sodium chloride (NaCL).
