The double bond makes it an alkene. There's an ethyl group and a methyl-ethyl group (I think). What does that suggest to you?

OpenStudy (hanamalik):

wouldn't it be an alkaline?

OpenStudy (sapphiremoon):

Alkaline refers to acids versus bases. Alkaline = having the properties of an alkali, or containing alkali; having a pH greater than 7. When classifying hydrocarbons, they can either be alkanes (propane), alkenes (propene), or alkynes (propyne), depending on whether they contain a single, double, or triple bond.

When naming organic compounds always start by finding the longest chain possible, then identify the side groups/chains present. Assign numbers to the carbons on the main chain so that the name has the lowest numbers.
