Condensed structural formula does not show the three-dimensional shape of the carbon framework at all. It only shows the sequence of carbons in a molecule.
Complete structural formula shows all bonds of a molecule, but does not show the three-dimensional shape of the carbon framework too. It represents a molecule as a flat structure with right angles between the bonds.
Only line structure shows real three-dimensional shape of the carbon backbone of the molecule.
