Explanation:
Based on the characteristics ending name (-ene) of the organic compound above, it belongs to the ALKENE GROUP. Alkenes are characterized by the possession of a carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) in their structure.
- But-3-ene tells us that the organic compound has four straight carbon atoms with the C=C (double bond) located on the THIRD carbon depending on if we count from right to left or vice versa.
- 2 methyl indicates that the methyl group (-CH3) is located as an attachment on the second carbon (carbon 2).
N.B: In the structure attached below, the counting is from the left to right (→).
