2D Diagram of a Chemical Structure

Captured here is a detailed 3D ball-and-stick representation of a complex organic chemical structure. The molecule displays a prominent fused four-ring system, commonly found in steroidal compounds. It incorporates several key functional groups: an aromatic (benzene) ring, a ketone group within one of the saturated rings, and a carboxylic acid group attached to the five-membered ring. In this rendering, grey spheres denote carbon atoms, white spheres represent hydrogen, and red spheres indicate oxygen. This type of three-dimensional visualization provides valuable insight into the spatial arrangement of atoms, complementing the conventional two-dimensional diagrams used to depict such chemical compounds.
