You should try and refer to your textbook or notes which your school have provided. I am sure this would be in them.
“I'm presently incarcerated. Convicted of a crime I didn't even commit. Hah! "Attempted murder"? Now honestly, what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for attempted chemistry? Do they?”

Do you have any additional text books [besides one issued by your school (they are not good)]? There is a topic on that here:

You should check it out. I actually do well with a book called Organic Chemistry: The Easy Way. It has a lot of BLUE ink which is pleasant on my eyes and it is quite up-to-date which is a major +.

there are three alkenes possible. you can put the double bond from the tertiary carbon to any other carbon. thus , three such are possible.
