Condensed structure
Accepted Answer
A condensed structure is a simplified way to represent a molecule's structure, omitting some bonds and hydrogen atoms. It uses lines, symbols, and numbers to show the connectivity and arrangement of atoms. For example, instead of drawing all the bonds in ethane (CH3CH3), we can condense it as CH3CH3.
