1. Identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms containing the double bond
2. Number the carbons atoms starting at the end carbon nearest the double bond.
3. Identify the position of the double bond. (-1-ene)
4. Identify the position of, number of and type of branches, if there is one carbon atom in a branch it is called methyl, if two ethyl. If there are 2 branches its di-, if 3 branches tri-
5. Name the structure, starting with the branches, then the chain length and then the position of the double bond.
