Can anyone give the name of this alkene?

It's a pentagon. The top point of the pentagon has a Y branching off of it- on the left branch of the Y is a methyl group, on the right branch of the Y is another methyl group. There is a double bound directly to the right of where the Y meets the pentagon shape.

I'm sorry guys if this doesn't make any sense...I don't really know what's going on either!

Answer:
Pentagon is called cyclopentane, if there's a double bond O, that is cyclopentanone.

The Y is call isopropyl group.

So, the compound is probably called 2-isopropylcyclopentanone. However, C-2 is chiral, you need to look up (R) or (S) configuration.
I'm sorry, I wish I could help. I sucked at organic chemistry. It's HARD.
It sounds like you are describing 1-(pentan-3-yl)cyclopent-1-ene... A pentane group attached from its 3rd carbon to the carbon bearing the double bond of cyclopentene. I hope this helps you out.
