Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound has a chain of 6 carbon atoms with two methyl groups and two ethyl groups attached to the third carbon atom. The name of the compound follows the longest continuous chain rule, and the double bond is placed between the first and second carbon atoms. Thus, the correct name of the compound is 3-ethyl-3-methyl-1-hexene. Option A and E are incorrect because they do not consider the position of the double bond. Option B is incorrect because it implies that the double bond is between the first and second carbon atoms. Option C is incorrect because it considers a different chain and does not specify the position of the double bond.
