A student is asked to name a compound with two double bonds at positions 1 and 3 in a four-carbon chain. What is the correct IUPAC name?

Accepted Answer

1,3-butadiene

Question 9

Which of the following best describes the structure of benzene?

Accepted Answer

Question 16

Which of the following is a common use of alkenes in industry?

Accepted Answer

Production of plastics

Question 17

Which of the following best explains why benzene does not undergo addition reactions?

Accepted Answer

Benzene's resonance structure stabilizes the ring, making addition reactions energetically unfavorable.

Question 18

Which of the following is the correct formula for the addition of water to an alkene according to Markovnikov's rule?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{RCH=CH_2$} + H_2O \rightarrow \mathrm{RCH(OH)CH_3$}$$

Question 19

Which of the following is the correct order of steps for naming an alkene according to IUPAC rules?

Accepted Answer

Find the longest chain, number the chain so the double bond has the lowest index, name and number substituents, indicate the position of the double bond.
