Correct answer: B. 1,3 butadiene
- A. 2 methyl 2 butene
- B. 1,3 butadiene
- C. 1,2 butadiene
- D. None of above
Explanation
The compound CH2=CH-CH=CH2 is named 1,3 butadiene because it contains 2 double bonds located on the 1st and 3rd carbons. The correct name reflects the structure of the compound accurately. Option A is incorrect as it does not match the number of carbons in the compound. Option C is incorrect as it misidentifies the position of the second double bond.
