B2 --> C2[The functional group of alkenes is the carbon-carbon double bond]
B3 --> C3[The parent chain is the longest chain of carbon atoms that contains the double bond]
B4 --> C4[The position of the double bond is indicated by the lowest numbered carbon atom in the double bond]
B5 --> C5[Substituents are named in the same way as for alkanes]
B6 --> C6[If there are multiple double bonds, the positions are indicated by the numbers of the first carbon atoms in each double bond]
