While naming a compund can you write Alcohol instead of "ol"?
For example: Lets say the compund is named pent-4-ene-7-ol.
Will the naming be wrong if I write it as pent-4-ene-7-Alcohol?

Answer:
In IUPAC nomenclature, "ol" is used instead of "alcohol". In common naming, the word "alcohol" is used after the parent name.
For example:
Common name of above compound is heptene alcohol.
The name provided in the question is incorrect.
