Draw the Lewis structure for each of the
following compounds;
a) CH3CHCHCH2CCCH2CH3
Answer:
When we write this formula we get C8H12
which is a member CnH2n-4 group.
We've never talked about this group so we need to check out the
condensed formula more closely.

I've circled two different parts of the
molecule, the circle in red is the location of a double bond (we
saw that in part c) and the portion circled in blue is a triple
bond (we saw in part b). So the Lewis structure looks like,
