Okay. Lets start by finding the longest chain how many C is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Naa longer :)

OpenStudy (frostbite):

The longest C chain with the double bond is 8... agree?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

So we now it has to be called something with: -octene We notice that the carbon with the double bond has to get the lowest number and see it is 2, so: 2-octene Now we need the ethyl group on C #6 so: 6-ethyl-2-ocetene Would be the name.

OpenStudy (frostbite):

so we know*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because there is 8 carbons in one part and 6 in the other?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

I can try number them if you want?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
