Could anyone help me figure out how to work out the structural formula of this molecule?thanks
Note: A double bond should still be indicated in the structural formula.
So, in summary:
CH3CH=CHCH3
or CH3-CH=CH-CH3
Obviously when writing this use the appropriate subscript numbers.

You want to try to work from left to right across this molecule. So we'll start with the top CH3. Then we'll say CH (the C in this is the start of the double bond). Then we'll put another CH. Finally, the remaining CH3.
