What is the compound 2-amino-3-chloro-butan-1-... 's semistructural formula?

I'm guessing it's CH3.CH(NO2).CHCL.CH2OH. How can you tell?

Answer:
you drew 2-chloro-3-nitro-1-butanol.

2-amino-3-chloro-butan-1-ol would be

CH3-CH(Cl)-CH(NH2)-CH2OH
Flip the CL with the (NO2). Replace (NO2) with NH2. Use a lower-case ell with the symbol for chlorine. You "can tell" because 4-carbon chain is butane. Butan-1-ol has the hydroxy a t the carbon designated "1". 2-amino means "NH2" is at next carbon from "1". 3-chloro means chlorine at carbon number 3. Replace the dots with hyphens.
