- carbon can form double and triple bonds with carbon atoms
- naming rule --the position of the double/triple bonds always have the lowest number and is out in front of the parent chain
- double bonds (alkenes) end in -ene
- triple bonds (alkynes) end in -yne
EX.
 |
| 5, 5 diethyl 2,6,7 trimethyl 3 octene |
 |
| Ethene |
 |
| 4 methyl 2 pentyne |
Multiple Double Bonds
- more than one double bond can exist in a molecule
- you can use the same multipliers inside the parent chain
