**Draw the structural condensed formula of 5-oxo-decanal.**

### Diagram Area

- The dashed red rectangle is intended for drawing the chemical structure. There is no drawing currently present.

---

**Instructions for Drawing:**

To accurately represent the structural condensed formula of 5-oxo-decanal, follow these steps:

1. **Identify the Carbon Chain**: 
   - Decanal consists of a 10-carbon chain. Number the carbons from 1 to 10.

2. **Add the Oxo Group**:
   - The "5-oxo" indicates a ketone group (C=O) at the 5th carbon.

3. **Placement**:
   - Align the carbon atoms in a horizontal line.
   - Add the oxo group (=O) on the 5th carbon.

---

**Example Structure:**
- CH₃(CH₂)₃C(=O)(CH₂)₅CHO

This structure indicates a linear alkane chain with an aldehyde group at the end and a ketone at the fifth carbon from the start.
