Answer 2

The IUPAC name of CH3CH2CH2CH2CH=CH2 is Hex-1-ene.

• Organic compounds are named according to the IUPAC nomenclature.
• The steps to name the given compound are as follows:

1. Find the longest chain. Here, the compound has no branching so the longest chain has 6 carbons. (Prefix = Hex)
2. There is no functional group in the compound. There is a double bond. (Suffix = ene)
3. The numbering is done such that the double bond gets the lowest number. Here we can start the numbering from right to left so double-bonded carbons get numbers 1 and 2.
4. The name of the compound = Prefix + Position of Double Bond + Suffix

                                                        = Hex-1-ene
