Alicycles and Aromatics

-Carbon chains can form 2 types of closed loops
-Alicyclics are loops usually made with single bonds
-If the parent chain is a loop standard naming rules apply with one addition: "cyclo" is added infront of the parent chain

There are 3 different ways to draw organic compounds:

1. Complete structural diagram
2. Condensed structural diagram
3. Line Diagram (mostly used because its way easier to draw and you dont have to include all the hydrogens) :)

*Numbering can start anywhere and go clockwise or counterclockwise on the loop but side chain numbers MUST be the lowest possible!*
