Is a chemical formula the same as a molecular formula?

Answer 1

A structural formula is a type of chemical formula, differing from a simple formula. The simple formula for Glucose, for example, is C6H12O6, and only says what is in that substance. The structural formula is a general sketched map of the elements and where they bond. Try googling a picture of the Glucose structural formula to see what I mean.

Answer 2

The difference in which one can uphold the chemical balance as the other upholds the "spine" or structure of the molecule. If your smart enough to understand what i just said "good for you" cause i just made this up good luck finding the real answer.

Answer 3

The chemical formula simply names the elements in which the molecule is made of, a depiction of the chemical structure should show you how those elements are oreinted and permeuted within that molecule.

Answer 4

No, a chemical symbol is one or two letters that represent an element (oxygen is O, chlorine is Cl, sulfur is S).

A chemical formula shows the number of each type of atom in a molecule or compound.

Chlorine gas is Cl2 (two chlorine atoms), sulfuric acid is H2SO4 (2 hydrogen atoms, 1 sulfur atom, 4 oxygen atoms), table salt is NaCl (1 sodium atom, 1 chlorine atom)

Answer 5

Yes

Chemical formula, molecular formula, formula unit all mean the same

Answer 6

No, isomeres can have the same formula (for example, glucose and frutose, both being C6H12O6) but have different chemical structures.

Answer 7

The chemical formula of a compound is representative for the chemical composition.
