Question
**Instruction:**

Draw the structure of (Z)-3-methylhept-3-ene. Be sure the stereochemistry is drawn clearly.

**Toolbar Details:**

- **Select, Draw, Rings, More, Erase:** Options for creating and modifying structures.
- **Drawing Tools:** Includes bond creation and manipulation tools.
  - **Single Bond:** Creates a single bond between atoms.
  - **Double Bond:** Creates a double bond, necessary for alkenes.
  - **Triple Bond:** Creates a triple bond when needed.
- **Element Selection:**
  - **C:** Carbon atom
  - **H:** Hydrogen atom

**Additional Features:**

- **Undo/Redo Arrows:** Allows reversing or repeating the last action.
- **Zoom Tools:** For adjusting the view of the drawing.

**Explanation:**

- **Alkene Structure:** (Z)-3-methylhept-3-ene features a double bond (alkene) at the third carbon in a seven-carbon chain (hept-).
- **Stereochemistry:** The (Z) configuration indicates that the higher priority groups attached to the double-bonded carbons are on the same side.
- **Methyl Group:** A methyl group is attached to the third carbon of the main chain.
