Hi,
I was just confused as to the semi-structural formula nomenclature of -ene and -yne structures. The thing that I don't understand is the = sign in the formula.
For example:
CH3CH2CH=CH2
What does that equals sign mean? Does it represent where the double bond is located?
If so, why does ethene have the structural formula CH2CH2 instead of CH2=CH2
Thanks
