What is the structural formula of a compound?

Answer 1

The structural formula show the spatial aspect of the molecule.

Answer 2

The presence or absence of a direct bond between each possible pair of atoms in the molecule. Sometimes structural formulas also show whether a particular bond is "single", "double", or "triple", that is, whether the bond involves two, four, or six total electrons from the two bonded atoms.
A structural formula shows how the atoms are arranged in a molecule of that substance. For example, the molecular formula of water is H2O, while its structural formula is H-O-H, indicating that each hydrogen atom is bonded to the central oxygen atom.

Answer 3

Structural formula shows the exact number of atoms of various elements present in a single molecule of a compound.

Structural formula also shows how are the atoms bonded or arranged with either single bond, double bond or a triple bond and you can therefore furthermore estimate the shape of the particular molecule.

Structural formula can be used to differentiate between structural isomers, which are two compounds with the same empirical and molecular formulae but different chemical structures. For instance, propanol has three isomers, which are propan-1-ol (CH3-CH2-CH2-O-H), propan-2-ol (CH3-CHOH-CH3) and methoxyethane (CH3-CH2-O-CH3).

Answer 4

A structural formula shows how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.

Answer 5

A structural formula show the bidimensional or tridimensional aspect of a molecule.

Answer 6

The structural formula of a compound shows how the atoms are arranged in the molecule. For example, the structural formula of H2O is H-O-H, and the structural compound of CO2 is O=C=O.

Answer 7

The structural formula show the spatial aspect of the molecule.
