I know how to name Alkanes, Alkenes, and Alkynes, but how do you name something that has both double and triple bonds?
-
It goes in the same way. A double bond get a lower number as a triplebond.
-
Sorry? I don't quite get your meaning.
-
How do you name an alkene and and an alkyne?
Give an example.
-
Something like hex-2,3-ene or 2,3hexene.
Why do you ask?
-
No it is called Hexa-2,3-diene.
I asked why you dont know how to name it correctly.
-
Oh! so you do use di- in this context. I was unsure about that. Thanks! Still seems a bit redundant, though.
And why 'hexa' not 'hex'? Is it just easier to say?
I'm not sure how to respond to your question - I don't know how to name it correctly because I haven't learned yet - That's why I'm asking.
-
Then I would suggest to read the IUPAC laws.
