### Molecule Structure

**Compound Image:**

- The image depicts a six-membered carbon ring with two hydroxyl (OH) groups attached.

### Task

**Objective:**
- Draw the *meso* form of this compound.

**Instructions:**
- Use the wedge/hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists.
- Show stereochemistry in a meso compound.

### Tools
- A toolbar is provided with various editing tools, including options for drawing bonds, rings, and indicating stereochemistry.

**Explanation:**
- The toolbar allows for precise drawing and manipulation, critical for accurately indicating the 3D orientation of groups around a chiral center using wedge and dash bonds. The options for rings and bonds enable the drawing of complex structures.

### Key Concepts

- **Meso Compounds:** Compounds that have multiple chiral centers but are achiral due to an internal plane of symmetry.
- **Stereochemistry:** The study of the three-dimensional structure of molecules.

---

**Note:** The ability to accurately represent and manipulate molecular structures is fundamental in understanding stereochemistry and the properties of different isomers.
