Name the following alkenes, and tell which compound in each pair is more stable:

The isobutyl cation spontaneously rearranges to the tert-butyl cation by a hydride shift. Is the rearrangement exergonic or endergonic? Draw what you think the transition state for the hydride shift might look like according to the Hammond postulate.

Draw structures corresponding to the following systematic names:
(a)(4E)-2, 4-Dimethyl-1, 4-hexadiene
(b)cis-3, 3-Dimethyl-4-propyl-1, 5-octadiene
(c)4-Methyl-1, 2-pentadiene
(d)(3E,5Z)-2, 6-Dimethyl-1, 3, 5,7-octatetraene
(e)3-Butyl-2-heptene
(f)trans-2, 2, 5, 5-Tetramethyl-3-hexene
