C6H10 Cyclopentene Skeleton

Draw a picture with 5 sides and 1 double line in the middle, and put a "C" at each corner.

Add an "H" atom to each corner that doesn't already have one.

Count how many "H" atoms you have and make sure it adds up to 10.

This is what the chemical cyclopentene looks like!

It's like drawing a picture of a shape and filling in the corners with crayons, but instead, we're using atoms to make a molecule that looks like a shape with a double line in the middle.
