Answer 2

Answer: The given compound is 1-butene.

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple hydrocarbons, if there are only single bonds present then the suffix "ane" is added to the name of hydrocarbon.

If there is a double bond then suffix "ene" is added to the name.

If there is a triple bond then suffix "yne" is added to the name.

For example,
`CH_(2)=CH_(2)-CH_(2)-CH_(3)` has one double bond which is at position 1 and there are four carbon atoms present.

Hence, name of this compound is 1-butene.
