Chord name
The chord name says everything about a chord: The root, gender of the chord (major
or minor), is it an augmented or diminished chord, seventh chord, etc. The illustration
shows that this is a C chord (1). The gender of the chord (2, here minor) is shown next
to it.

Chord inversions
If the root of a chord is not the lowest note in the triad, it is called an inverse chord. If
the root is the lowest note, it's called a root position chord. If the third and fifth are
placed in the basic position, it forms an "inversion" and is therefore called an "inverse
chord".
