Naming of cyclopentanes

Postby jonathanmarilao2L » Mon Mar 07, 2016 11:38 pm

On some past finals the nomenclature for cyclopentanes with two double bonds is cyclopenta-1,2-diene but other times on some other practice problems it says cylcopent-1,2-diene. Which is the right answer?

I'm pretty sure that the correct answer would be cyclopent-1,2-diene.

Would we be marked wrong if we wrote one or the other?
