Hi, can someone tell me the best way to go about doing this question?

Draw structural formulae showing all the atoms of both of the following:
2,3-dimethylpentanal, 4-methyl-chlorobenzene

Pen and paper.

Actually, you're able to do the diagrams on this site. What was the point of your post?

Great. So, draw us a diagram of what you think these molecules look like.

Hi curiouscat, I'm just learning chemistry (I started about 20 minutes ago, but I googled some things and I find it very interesting) I tried constructing the second formula mentioned by the original poster and I came up with this http://imgur.com/9rO3Uyg. Am I correct in saying that this is right? My reasoning is that it's a benzene molecule, with chlorine attached onto it. Also, because of the "Methyl" part, wikipedia tells me that a CH3 molecule is needed in the 4th (stated in the text formula) position.

Thanks in advance!

Looks right to me.
