Question
The image contains the following text and diagrams:

---

**Question 22:**  
"Draw a constitutional isomer for the following compound."

Below the text, there is a skeletal structure of a cyclopropane ring (a triangle) attached to a branch. The cyclopropane is illustrated as a simple triangle, indicating it is composed of three carbon atoms. The line extending from one of the vertices of the triangle represents a side chain or substituent, which is an unspecified alkyl group.

No specific details are provided for substituents or additional functional groups on the structural formula. The task is to draw a structural isomer, meaning the same molecular formula should be rearranged into a different connectivity of the atoms.

This diagram is meant to guide students in visualizing and understanding the concept of constitutional isomers, where molecules have the same molecular formula but differ in the connectivity of their atoms.
