Final answer:

The IUPAC name of an alkene is derived from the name of the corresponding alkane with the same number of carbon atoms, replacing the -ane with -ene and indicating the location of the double bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

The IUPAC name of an alkene is derived from the name of the corresponding alkane with the same number of carbon atoms. The suffix -ane in the name of the alkane is replaced with the suffix -ene. The location of the double bond is indicated by naming the smaller of the numbers of the carbon atoms participating in the double bond.

In this case, if you provide the structure of the alkene, I can help you name it using the IUPAC rules.
