If the double bond is equidistant from both

Rule 6
Follow IUPAC punctuation rules, which include the
following: ❑ Separate numbers from each other by
commas. Rule 4
❑ Separate numbers from letters by hyphens. Give the position of the double bond in the

number is placed immediately before the

longest continuous chain of carbon atoms
that contains both carbon atoms of the
double bond.
