Isobutylene

2-Methylprop-1-ene, commonly known as isobutylene, is a branched-chain isomer of butene (C₄H₈). It is a colorless, flammable gas with a unique structure containing a double bond connected to a tertiary carbon. This structure is key to its primary application: the production of butyl rubber. By polymerizing isobutylene with a small amount of isoprene, a synthetic rubber with outstanding impermeability to gases is created, making it ideal for inner tubes and tire liners. Isobutylene is also used to produce fuel additives like methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and isooctane.

It will make the broken part even stronger.I decided to go with the ball-and-stick type, as it is easiest to color, is rigid, and looks awesome.The model represents the major resonance contributor.I oriented the model for optimal strength/waste/time comprom
