2. Draw a structural formula for 1-hexene (C6H12), which has a double bond between the number 1 and 2 carbons in the chain. What class of compound is it, and what feature distinguishes it as that class?

Structures can't be drawn on this forum but you can Google 1-hexene and see a drawing of the structure there. The basic structure is
C=C-C-C-C-C with H atoms attached to make 4 bonds on each C; i.e., 2 H on C-1, 1 on C2 and 2 H on all the others except for 3 on C-6 to look like this.
H2C=CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3
Goggle will also give you information about alkenes in general. A double bond in the structure is why they are called alkenes and it is an "unsaturated" compound. Saturated compounds are alkanes, two double bonds are dienes, a triple bond is an alkyne.
