in an exam, when it asks for 'a structure' i will often draw a mixture of structural and displayed formula, i.e. propanone:

instead of:

I don’t think so UNLESS they ask specifically for displayed formula

i think there's an actual guide to this sort of stuff in aqa exams, ill try to find it
First 13 pages cover general penalisable stuff, while 7-9 is more of what you're talking about. So i think you can write that i think, tho that's basically just structural with bonds isnt it?
