  1. Learning organic chemistry is like learning a new language. With a new language comes a new way of speaking and a new way of writing. In organic chemistry we communicate with lines and letters.<\/li>\n
  2. How to draw bonds\n
      \n
        \n
      1. Bonds are represented by lines. One line is a single bond, two lines is a double bond and three lines is a triple bond

          \n
            \n
          1. Bonds may be in a variety of\u00a0different planes<\/em>

            \"<\/td>\nDrawn to represent a bond\u00a0coming out\u00a0of the plane of the computer screen or paper. In essence this bond is pointing toward you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            \"<\/td>\nDrawn to represent a bond\u00a0going into\u00a0the plane of the computer screen or paper. In essence this bond is\u00a0pointing away from you.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
          2. General rules of drawing in orgo using the\u00a0“Line-Angle Formula”<\/em>\n
              \n
            1. General Rule #1:\n
                \n
              1. Anytime there is a line drawn, the atom at each end is a carbon unless otherwise indicated.<\/li>\n
              2. The appropriate number of hydrogens are attached to it and implied even though they may not be drawn<\/li>\n
              3. For example, each of these three are equivalent depictions of the same compound:
                \n\n\n\n\n
                Condensed Formula<\/th>\nConventional Structure Drawing<\/th>\nLine-Angle Formula Drawing<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
                CH3<\/sub>CH3<\/sub><\/td>\n\"<\/td>\n\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

                Looking at this Line-Angle Formula drawing we see a line. Each end of the line has a carbon. Since the carbons are connected by a single bond, each carbon has three hydrogens attached to it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

              4. General Rule #2:\n
                  \n
                    \n
                  1. Each carbon molecule may accommodate four “things” attached to it via a single bond. If there is a double bond that counts as two “things” if there is a triple bond that counts as three “things”<\/li>\n
                  2. So what about this molecule:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

                    \"<\/p>\n

                    Let\u00eds start by circling all the lines:
                    \n\"<\/p>\n

                    Well, there are three lines, right? Each positioned at an angle to one another to indicate that there is a new carbon at that joint.
                    \nSo the following two images are equivalent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
                    Conventional Structure Drawing<\/th>\nLine-Angle Formula Drawing<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
                    \"<\/td>\n\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
