### Organic Chemistry: Systematic Naming of Compounds

**Question 12 of 25**

**Problem Statement:**
Provide the correct systematic name for the compound shown here.

**[Image of a Chemical Compound]**
The compound shown is a square, suggesting a four-carbon ring structure with two vertical lines inside.

**Answer Choices:**
Below are the answer choices for naming the compound:
- 3- 4- 2- 1,3- 2,4- 1- sec- di tri cyclo tert- iso meth hex prop pent but eth yne ene ane a yl

In order to formulate the correct systematic name, use the buttons provided to piece together the name.

**Instructions for Students:**
1. **Identify the Structure:** Observe the structure carefully. It appears to be a cyclic compound.
2. **Determine the Main Carbon Chain:** For this square structure, it's a four-membered ring.
3. **Identify Functional Groups/Bonds:** The vertical lines inside the square suggest two double bonds.

**Hint:** The systematic naming involves:
- Prefix: For a four-carbon ring system, use the prefix "cyclo".
- Carbon chain length: Four carbons in a ring are denoted as "but".
- Double bonds: Two double bonds indicate "diene".

Therefore, by combining these parts:
**"cyclobutadiene"** would be the correct systematic name.

### Graphs and Diagrams
**Detailed Explanation:**
The image depicts a simple structural diagram of a cyclic organic compound. The square represents a four-carbon ring, with the two vertical lines indicating the positions of double bonds. No additional substituents are present.
