Build the following molecule using the model kit:
H2C
CH
CH2 CH2
CH3
The name of this molecule is 1-Pentene
1. Draw a skeletal model of 1-Pentene below
2. Is there such a thing as 4-Pentene?
3. First build 4-Pentene and then draw the structure below:
4. Use your model to determine why there is no real difference between 1-Pentene and 4-Pentene
