Check my work. Count everything. C should have four valences.
thz... i got it now
To draw the structure of 5-methyl-3-heptene, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by drawing a straight chain of seven carbon atoms, representing the heptene part of the molecule.
2. Label the carbon atoms in sequence from 1 to 7.
3. Identify the location of the methyl group. In this case, it is located on the fifth carbon atom of the chain (carbon atom number 5).
4. Add the methyl group to carbon atom number 5. The methyl group consists of a single carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.
5. Lastly, indicate the presence of the double bond at the third carbon atom of the chain (carbon atom number 3). A double bond consists of two lines between two carbon atoms.
Here is the written structure:
H H H H H

H - C - C - C = C - C - C - H

CH3 H
This represents the structure of 5-methyl-3-heptene, where the methyl group is attached to the fifth carbon atom, and there is a double bond between the third and fourth carbon atoms.
