(NR) ALKENES & ALKYNES (double&triple bonds)

- Carbon can form double and triple bonds with Carbon atoms.
- When multiple bonds form fewer hydrogens are attached to the Carbon atom
- Naming rules are almost the same as with Alkanes.
     > The position of the double/ triple bonds ALWAYS has the lowest number and is put in front of the
        parent chain.
- double bonds (ALKENES) end in -ene
- triple bonds (ALKYNES) end in -yne

THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF ALKENES AND ALKYNES!

2 Butane:
5 ethyl 2 8 dimethyldecane


1 Butane



EXAMPLES: TRY THESE:
1) Name:

2) Draw: 2,3, Dimethyl-3,4,4 tetra tetrapropyl decane.
3) Draw: 3, 4, 5 Heptyne
