Although the IUPAC and omega numbering systems technically refer to different carbon atoms (e.g., C15 in 18:3n−3 versus C16 in 18:3ω3; or C19 in 22:6n−3 versus C20 in 22:6ω3), the n− and omega nomenclature effectively designate the equivalent fatty acids when the numeral following the n− or omega is the same.

Naming AcidsAcids -For simplicity, the acids that we will be concerned with naming are really just a special class of ionic compounds where the cation is always H +. So if the formula has hydrogen written first, then this usually indicates that the hydrogen is an H + cation and that the compound is an acid.
