To name the compound CH_3-CH=CH-CH_3, we follow the IUPAC nomenclature rules for organic compounds. Step 1: Identify the functional group. The compound contains a carbon-carbon double bond (=CH-CH=), which is characteristic of an alkene. Step 2: Determine the longest carbon chain containing the functional group. Count all the carbon atoms in the main chain that includes the double bond. 1CH_3-2CH=3CH-4CH_3 There are four carbon atoms in the chain. The parent alkane with four carbon atoms is butane. Since it contains a double bond, the suffix changes from '-ane' to '-ene', making it butene. Step 3: Number the carbon chain to give the double bond the lowest possible number. If we number from left to right, the double bond starts at carbon 2. If we number from right to left, the double bond also starts at carbon 2. So, the position of the double bond is 2. Step 4: Name the compound. Combine the position of the double bond with the parent alkene name. The name is 2-butene. Comparing this with the given options: A. 1-butene (This would be CH_2=CH-CH_2-CH_3) B. 2-butene C. butane (This would be an alkane, CH_3-CH_2-CH_2-CH_3) D. 1-butyne (This would be an alkyne, CH C-CH_2-CH_3) The correct option is B. The name of the compound is B. 2-butene. Last free one today — make it count tomorrow, or type /upgrade for unlimited.
