Title: help with structure 8-ethyldeca-2,4-diene

We're glad to help you with structure.

Hi there,

OK.  Is the question with how to draw the structure, or another question about the compound?  Or do you want to see the structure?  Or cut and paste the image?  What are you asking?

Not every compound is online or in books.  If you've been assigned something for a practice structure drawing, you may not find a link.  Why not use the general rules for structures, and begin to draw it?

Hi Arkcon,
Sry for the confusion.  I'm looking for the structure.  I believe I have it but i'm confused on carbon 8.  looks like there is a ethyl group coming off it and that carbon has 4 single bonds so this should be SP3 hybridized therefore this should be tethedral.  can you confirm my illustration?  Thanks.

anybody know if i'm on the right path for this one?

Hi rlabomba,

Yes, this all makes sense (though you don't generally need both hashes and wedges on an individual atom).

thank you!  Appreciate the feedback
