Interpretation: The number of carbon atoms and
-bonds present in the following compound should be identified:
Concept Introduction: A method used to represent molecular structures of compounds is said to be bond line notation. In this notation, a line depicts a bond between two atoms and are drawn in a zigzag format. Atoms other than carbon and hydrogens are specifically depicted in this notation. It is assumed that carbon atoms are bonded to enough hydrogen atoms that are required to complete the octet.

- Oxalic acid, H2C2O4, a poisonous colorless solid, is found in some vegetables such as spinach and rhubarb. It is present in concentrations well below the toxic limit, so you can't use this as a reason to refuse a helping of spinach. The order of atoms in a molecule of oxalic acid is HO2CCO2H.
