According to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry nomenclature this alkyne is called pentyne. Pentyne, C5H8 is a hydrocarbon found in reference to biochemistry and is characterized by it's triple bonded carbon on the molecule. The triple bonded carbon is what makes it an alkyne and gives it the suffix on its name: yne. The "Pent" on the name refers to the fact that there are 5 carbons involved in the structure thus giving it the "5" prefix (Pent).

∙ 13y agoEthyne is the proper Iupac name for C2H2 which is more commonly known as acetylene. Eth is from the prefix for the two carbon system and yne is the suffix for a hydrocarbon that contains at least one carbon to carbon triple bond.
