Step-by-step explanation:

Step one look for the longest chain of carbon atoms

Longest chain is 7 C atoms

Step 2 look for double bonds or others functional groups

it is present in 3rd carbon

Therefore IUPAC name is 3-heptene

From point of stereochemistry it can also be written as trans-3-heptene as the hydrogens are placed in opposite side of the C=C bond.

Hope this helps...
