Answer: Heyo Kenji Here! Here's your answer- Higher alkenes and alkynes are named by counting the number of carbons in the longest continuous chain that includes the double or triple bond and appending an -ene (alkene) or -yne (alkyne) suffix to the stem name of the unbranched alkane having that number of carbons.

Explanation: Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
