Answer:

3–heptene or Hept–3–ene.

Step-by-step explanation:

To name the compound given in the question above, we must determine the following:

1. Identify the functional group of the compound.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

4. Locate the position of the double bond (i.e the functional group) by giving it the lowest possible count.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.

Now, we shall obtain the name of the compound as follow:

1. The compound contains double bond. Hence the compound is an alkene.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 7 i.e heptene.

3. No substituent group is attached to the compound.

4. The double bond is located at carbon 3 since counting from the right gives the lowest count for the double bond.

5. The name of the compound is:

3–heptene or Hept–3–ene
