About this document
Alkene Nomenclature and Geometry Rules by Kay Abawag is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. The document discusses nomenclature rules for naming alkenes. It describes how to identify the parent chain, number the carbons, indicate substituents and double bond position, and specify cis/trans and E/Z geometric isomers. 2. It explains that the IUPAC name is based on the longest carbon chain containing the double bond. The suffix -ene replaces -ane, and the double bond position is indicated by a number. Substituents are numbered based on their attachment to the parent chain. 3. Cis/trans and E/Z
