what is a simplified way of representing an organic compound by showing only rh carbon carbon bounds

A simplified way of representing an organic compound by showing only the carbon-carbon bonds is known as a skeletal or line structure. This representation uses lines to represent carbon-carbon bonds and does not show any other atoms or bonds except for carbon atoms directly bonded together.

To draw a skeletal structure:

1. Start by identifying all the carbon atoms in the compound.
2. Determine the connectivity of the carbon atoms. Look at the molecular formula and any given structural information to determine how the carbon atoms are bonded to each other.
3. Begin drawing the structure by representing each carbon atom as a point or intersection where the lines will meet.
4. Draw the lines between the carbon atoms to show the carbon-carbon bonds. Each line represents one carbon-carbon bond.
5. If there are any groups or functional groups attached to the carbon atoms, you can include them in your skeletal structure by adding symbols or substituents directly on the carbon atoms.

Remember, skeletal structures only show the carbon atoms and their bonding relationships. They do not include hydrogen atoms or any other atoms that may be present in the organic compound.
