Read each question carefully and provide the IUPAC name for the given alkenes, or draw the structure from the given name. Remember to follow all rules for alkene nomenclature, including identifying the longest carbon chain containing the double bond, numbering to give the double bond the lowest possible number, and correctly naming and numbering substituents.
1. Provide the IUPAC name for the following alkene:
2. Name the following alkene, paying attention to cis/trans isomerism if applicable:
3. The longest continuous carbon chain containing the double bond is called the chain.
4. When numbering an alkene, the double bond should receive the possible number.
5. Which of the following is the correct IUPAC name for the compound shown below?
2-ethyl-3-methyl-1-butene
3,4-dimethyl-1-pentene
3-methyl-4-ethyl-1-butene
2-methyl-3-ethyl-1-pentene
6. The suffix '-ene' indicates the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond.
True
False
7. Draw the condensed structural formula for 2,3-dimethyl-2-pentene.
8. Draw the skeletal structure for (E)-3-methyl-2-hexene.
