Drawing molecules every time may be tedious, time and space-consuming. So, you must understand how to use short-hand methods to represent organic structures.
In this chapter, we have an extensive set of examples of representing organic compounds, including long chains, wedges, dashes, rings, and dots, thereby understanding the chemistry language.
