When we see a "shorthand" representation of a complex organic molecule, we call this a skeletal formula. We consider the places where the lines "point" or connect and there is "nothing there" in the diagram to be carbon (C) atoms. Carbon atoms sit at the vertices of our diagram, and are implied in the skeletal formula. A link can be found below for more information.
