Your drawing is very close to the correct structure, but there is a small error in the valency of the second carbon (C_2). Let's analyze the bonds for each carbon in your drawing: Carbon 1 (C_1): It has a double bond to C_2 and two single bonds to hydrogen atoms. This gives C_1 a total of 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 bonds, which is correct. Carbon 2 (C_2): In your drawing, C_2 has: A double bond to C_1 (2 bonds) A single bond to C_3 (1 bond) A single bond to the CH_3 group (1 bond) A single bond to a hydrogen atom (1 bond) This totals 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 bonds for C_2. However, carbon can only form a maximum of 4 bonds. Carbon 3 (C_3): It has a single bond to C_2 and three single bonds to hydrogen atoms. This gives C_3 a total of 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 bonds, which is correct. The error is that C_2 in 2-methylprop-1-ene should not have a hydrogen atom directly attached to it. It already forms 4 bonds with the double bond to C_1, the single bond to C_3, and the single bond to the methyl group. The correct structure for 2-methylprop-1-ene is: H_2C=C CH_3 \\ | -CH_3 Or, showing all bonds: H \\ | \\ H-C_1 \\ || \\ H_3C-C_2-C_3-H \\ | \\ H \\ | \\ H In this correct structure: C_1 has 2 bonds to H and 2 bonds to C_2 (total 4 bonds). C_2 has 2 bonds to C_1, 1 bond to C_3, and 1 bond to the CH_3 group (total 4 bonds). C_3 has 1 bond to C_2 and 3 bonds to H (total 4 bonds).
