This directory contains examples for the chem language. Render the examples with "groff -j". On the displays, you can see rings consisting of several lines and bonds (lines). All points on rings and bonds that do not have a notation mean a C atom (carbon) filled with H atoms (hydrogen) such that the valence of 4 is satisfied. For example, suppose you have just a single line without any characters. That means a bond. It has two points, one at each end of the line. So each of these points stands for a C atom, the bond itself connects these 2 C atoms. To fulfill the valence of 4, each points has to carry additionally 3 H atoms. So the single empty bond stands for CH3-CH3, though this combination doesn't make much sense chemically. ##### Editor settings Local Variables: fill-column: 72 mode: text End: vim: set textwidth=72:
