Chiral molecules possess a carbon with 4 branches that are distinguishably different. So, start by drawing that carbon on the middle and draw branches that are different.

Answer:

On the attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

On the attached picture, you will find the structural formula of the requested chiral alkene with the formula C₆H₁₂. Remember that chirality occurs when a carbon atom has four different radicals around it, thus, the drawn molecule has a central carbon bonded to a hydrogen above, a CH₃ to the left, a CH₂ to the right and a CH below which yields the chiral structure.

Best regards.
