PubChem’s computed 3D conformer of methyl dihydrojasmonate (Hedione) (CID 102861, conformer 000191CD00000001): the shape a computer model gives the molecule, not an experimental structure and not a picture of a real molecule. Ball and stick: 13 carbon, 3 oxygen; the 22 hydrogen atoms are left out for clarity. The balls are drawn smaller than the atoms’ real reach; a double bond is two sticks, side by side.
