1. The Cyclobutane Ring:
* Draw a square. This represents the four-carbon ring of cyclobutane.
2. The Methyl Group:
* Attach a CH3 group (methyl group) to one of the carbon atoms in the square.
3. Hydrogen Atoms:
* Add hydrogen atoms (H) to each carbon atom in the ring and the methyl group so that each carbon has four bonds.
Here's a visual representation:
