The common name for a disbstituted benzene with two methyl groups is xylene . Draw a structure for meta- xylene.

The common name for a disubstituted benzene with 2 methyl groups is xylene. Here it says draw a structure for meta xylene. Alright, so here we're going to have our benzene. They're telling us here that xylene has 2 methyl groups. Alright, so we know that this benzene ring has to have 2 CH3 groups attached. Now, if we look at the full name, meta, means that they are in positions 13. So if I start numbering this as 1, 2 and this is 3, then we'd have a methyl group here and a methyl group here. This is this would represent meta xyle.
