Explanation:

Both skeletal structures are possible. In the first structure, it doesn't matter where you put the double bond as long as there is one.

Always remember that whenever you see the formula #C_nH_"2n"#, the structure of the chemical is most probably either "cyclo-" (rings) or have a double bond in it.

For straight, single-bonded chains, the formula is #C_nH_"2n+2"#.
