PLEASE HELP ASAP What is the best name for this molecule? Explain your naming process.

A hydrocarbon compound with a total of 9 carbons that includes one double bond and the rest single bonds. There are 6 carbons across the bottom with 3 carbons branching off of the third carbon from the left. The double bond occurs between the 5th and 6th carbon in the bottom chain.

Respuesta :

Answer is: 4-ethyl-1-heptene.

Structure of this alkene is in Word document attached.
First find main chain with longest number of carbon atoms, that is chain with seven carbon atoms and it start on the right and going up the three-carbon attachment.
Main chain has double bond between first and second carbon (
the lowest number), so it is 1-heptene (alkene).
Substituent is on fourth carbon atom, it is alkyl group with two carbon atoms (ethyl).
