Condensed Structural Formula

An easier and shorter way to draw the line-bond structural formula of bonds in a molecule
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to summarize a long text message conversation with a friend into just a few key points. Condensed structural formulas in chemistry are similar because they provide a simplified way to represent a molecule's structure without drawing every single bond explicitly. Just as you might skip unnecessary details in a summary to convey the main message efficiently, condensed formulas leave out certain bonds and atoms that are understood, making it easier and quicker to see the overall structure of a molecule.
