Transcribed Image Text:**Exercise: Naming Alkenes**
**Task:** Provide an IUPAC name for each of the compounds shown below.
**Note:** Specify (E)/(Z) stereochemistry, if relevant, for straight chain alkenes only. Pay attention to commas, dashes, etc.
---
**Compound 1:**
- **Structure Explanation:**
- The compound consists of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) at the center.
- Attached to the double-bonded carbons are two hydrogen atoms on one carbon and a substituent chain, CHCH(CH₃)₂, along with another CH₃, on the other carbon.
- **Naming Guidelines:**
- Determine the longest carbon chain that includes the double bond.
- Identify substituents and their positions.
- Apply (E)/(Z) nomenclature if applicable.
---
**Compound 2:**
- **Structure Explanation:**
- The compound features a central carbon-carbon double bond (C=C).
- The left carbon of the double bond carries two methyl groups (CH₃ and CH₃CH).
- The right carbon of the double bond has a hydrogen atom and a methyl group (H and CH₃).
- **Naming Guidelines:**
- Identify the main carbon chain across the double bond.
- Identify and position substituents correctly.
- Apply (E)/(Z) nomenclature if it affects the molecular geometry.
---
Utilize these guidelines to accurately name each compound according to IUPAC standards.

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts two structural formulas of alkenes:
1. The first structure shows an alkene with the molecular formula likely being C8H16. It features a central double bond, with an ethyl group (CH3CH2-) and a butyl group (CH2CH2CH3) attached to one side, and a hydrogen (H) and a methyl group (CH3) bonded to the other carbon of the double bond.
2. The second structure shows another alkene with a molecular formula likely being C7H14. In this structure, there is a pentyl group (CH3CH2C-) with a branching methyl group, and an ethylene group (CH2) bonded to it.
Below each structure, there are placeholders that appear to be designed for the names or labels of these alkene compounds. These are empty and enclosed within rectangular borders, suggesting spaces for identification or categorization of the chemical structures shown above them.
