here N represents that the group which we're going

to write after N is connected to Nitrogen of amide

.........suppose the compound is

CH3-CH2-C0-N(CH3)2 .....then the name will be

N,N-dimethylpropanamide.....

now these codes after the alk- group represents the type of

unsaturation the compound has ......suppose -an

represents saturation (no unsaturation) in the

compound .....means no double or triple

bond.......means all the carbons in the compound

are sp3 hybridised......-en represents double bond

b/w 2 carbons (if two double bonds then it is

-diene) in the molecule ....similarly -yne

indicates carbon carbon triple bond........now

understood?
