Question

I had named this compound as the 2-bromo-2-butene but it was marked wrong and I'm not sure why, or what it would be named instead?

### Transcription and Explanation:

**Instruction:**
Name the alkene. Be sure to indicate stereochemistry and use hyphens (-) not endashes (–).

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows a structural representation of an alkene molecule. The structure includes:
- A double bond between two carbon atoms.
- One of the carbon atoms is bonded to a hydrogen atom (H) and a CH₃ group (methyl group).
- The other carbon atom is bonded to another CH₃ group and a bromine atom (Br).

**Alkene Name Field:**
- The alkene name is: **2-bromo-2-butene**

This diagram represents an alkene with a bromine atom substitution at the second carbon in the chain, which is the basis for its nomenclature "2-bromo-2-butene."
