Answer:

2-ethyl-pentene.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, following the given indications, the molecule is shown of the attached picture. Thus, the double bond is placed as well as the propyl radical. In such a way, the resulting molecule is 2-ethyl-pentene since the longest chain has five carbons and at the second carbon there is an ethyl radical. Moreover, the double bond makes the molecule an alkene, finishing with "ene".

Best regards.
