Question

20 multiple choice 2 points provide the proper iupac name for the alkene shown below. ch₂=chch₂ch₂ch₂ch₃ hex-1-ene methylhex-1-ene hex-2-ene hex-2-ane hex-1-ane previous

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the parent chain

The parent chain has 6 carbon atoms (hex -).

Step2: Identify the double - bond position

The double bond is between the first and second carbon atoms ( - 1 - ene). There are no methyl groups (so methylhex - 1 - ene is wrong). The double bond is at position 1 (not 2, so hex - 2 - ene is wrong). It is an alkene (ends with - ene, so hex - 2 - ane and hex - 1 - ane are wrong as they end with - ane for alkanes).

Answer:

hex-1-ene
