=== Bonds === [[Chemical bond|Bonds]] are often shown as a line that connects one atom to another. One line indicates a [[single bond]]. Two lines indicate a [[double bond]], and three lines indicate a [[triple bond]]. In some structures the atoms in between each bond are specified and shown. However, in some structures, the carbon molecules are not written out specifically. Instead, these carbons are indicated by a corner that forms when two lines connect. Additionally, Hydrogen atoms are implied and not usually drawn out. These can be inferred based on how many other atoms the carbon is attached to. For example, if Carbon A is attached to one other Carbon B, Carbon A will have three hydrogens in order to fill its octet.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Brown |first=William Henry |title=Organic chemistry |date=2018 |author2=Brent L.
