To name straight chain alkenes, count the number of carbon atoms, number each carbon atom if there are more than three carbons, and name it by indicating the carbon number of the double bond with a number, followed by a hyphen and the main chain name. Examples include 1,3-pentadiena and 1,3,5-heksatriena.

The steps for naming the straight chain alkenes are
Count the amount of C atoms. If the C atom of alkenes is more than three, put number if every C atom thus the smallest number is placed exactly at the double bond position. The naming is started by number of C atom at double bonding, followed by mark (-) and main chain name.
