Infix (chemistry)
The infix is a term from chemical nomenclature . It is a non-separable syllable that comes before a suffix or a class name (part of a functional stem name , e.g. "-acid" in phosphonic acid) in chemical nomenclature . The infix thus modifies a class name:
| infix | Name, suffix, or class designation |
Name including infix (modified class designation) |
