Question

Draw the molecule 1-methylenecyclohexane on the canvas by choosing buttons from the tools (for bonds), atoms, and advanced template toolbars. The single bond is active by default.

Answer 1

To draw the structural formula of 1-methylenecyclohexane, start by drawing a cyclohexane ring and then add a methyl group to one of the carbon atoms. Finally, add a double bond between the methyl group carbon atom and an adjacent carbon atom on the ring.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw the structural formula of 1-methylenecyclohexane, follow the steps given below:

1. Start by drawing a cyclohexane ring by following the instructions provided in the reference material.
2. Next, add a methyl group (CH3) to one of the carbon atoms on the ring. This can be done by attaching a hydrogen (H) atom to the carbon atom and replacing one of the existing hydrogen atoms with a methyl group.
3. Finally, add a double bond (═) between the carbon atom with the methyl group and the adjacent carbon atom on the ring. This represents the methylene group (CH2) in 1-methylenecyclohexane.

The resulting structural formula of 1-methylenecyclohexane should have a cyclohexane ring with a methyl group attached to one of the carbon atoms, and a double bond between the methyl group carbon atom and an adjacent carbon atom on the ring.
