Molecules Skeletal Representation model

An organic compounds skeleton formula, also known as the line-angle formula or shorthand formula, is a type of molecular structural formula that acts as shorthand for a molecule's bonding and some specifics of its molecular geometry. A molecular structure illustration in which covalent bonds are represented by lines. Other than carbon and hydrogen, all other elements' symbols are always drawn (unless part of a group abbreviation such as Ph.).
