Answer 6

Too many rules for me to type out. Sorry :) but that site is very helpful for first portion of organic chemistry

Answer 7

first one is: 4-methyl-hpt-2-ene
second : prop-1-yne or simply propyne.
third: 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-hept-3-ene
fourth: 3-methyl-pent-1,4-diene.

use the rules given by abbot and see if you get these answers or not.

Answer 8

Ah, I forgot the diene, thanks for that @ANISH95 but I think you should let them try the rest themselves after giving them assistance. That way they can learn;
they won't have the help of some great people like yourself on an exam :)
