@nincompoop please help

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ethylene only has 2 carbons, so that one is out.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

It can't be 2-methyl-propane because that doesn't account for the double bond.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

And it definitely doen't have 11 carbons...

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

since its olefin the suffix should be -ene :) that is propene
