• -ene

• -yne

• -ol

When numbering the carbon chain in an alkene, from which end should you start?

• The end closest to a substituent

• The end closest to the double bond

• 1-Butene

• 2-Butene

• Butyne

What is the first step in naming a straight-chain alkene?

• Name the substituents

• Identify the longest carbon chain containing the double bond

• Number the substituents

• Replace "-ane" with "-ene"

If a straight-chain alkene has a methyl group on carbon 3 and a double bond starting at carbon 1, which comes first in the name?

• The position of the double bond
