Answer

To name the compound CH-CH-CH=CH-CH3\text{CH-CH-CH=CH-CH}_3 with a CH3\text{CH}_3 group attached to the second carbon from the left, we follow IUPAC rules for alkenes.

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

  1. Draw the structural formula to clearly see the connectivity.

    The given condensed formula is a bit ambiguous, but based on the options, it implies:
    CH3−CH(CH3)−CH=CH−CH3\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}(\text{CH}_3)-\text{CH}=\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3

  2. Identify the longest continuous carbon chain that contains the double bond.

    Counting from left to right:

    1. CH3\text{CH}_3
    2. $\
