I don’t know if there is a name for it, but the dot is a carbon atom and the three lines are hydrogen atoms.

It might be a Lewis diagram for a carbon compound where the dots represent electrons and the lines chemical bonds, usually covalent bonds.

@Tropical_Willie Not the bond that I was looking for. Was looking for the bonds in the center of my link in Escitalopram.

It it’s the one I’m thinking your talking about it’s a single bond. What you are seeing is the representation of a single stereoisomer of the carbon.

The double lines inside the hexagons indicate double bonding between carbons. Carbons have 4 electrons they can share. The carbon pairs are sharing two of the four. The two additional bonds for the carbons are not shown and are assumed to be for hydrogen.
