Corrected: "The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, or IUPAC for short, sets the rules for how to name compounds."
Briefly: IUPAC creates systematic nomenclature for organic and inorganic substances (and standards for terminology, symbols, atomic weights, etc.). Example: the common name "acetone" has the IUPAC name "propanone"; "ethyl alcohol" is formally "ethanol."
