I have encountered different naming systems in textbooks.
Ignoring cis/trans, for example, some textbooks would give the name 2-butene, while others give but-2-ene.
Are they both acceptable? The newer textbook uses the second type of naming, while the older textbook uses the first. Have the IUPAC standards changed?
