What do you call an alkene with more than one double bond?

If there was Hexene. hexene only has one double bond. What would you call a hexene that had more than one double bond with less hydrogens.


Bond best answer:

Answer by Eric
An alkene with two double bonds is called a diene. So if a 6 carbon molecule has two double bonds it would be a hexdiene. To actually write out the name you have to first number the carbons based on the standard rules and write out the name in the form of
1,5-hexdiene.
