What is the structural formula for propanamide?

I'm not certain but I believe it's this: CH3CH2CO(NH2) My main uncertainty is the use of brackets, I think it may be needed because the amide molecule is on the Carbon and not attached to the oxygen, but I don't know if -O- is possible here, certainly propanamide contains a peptide bond so the brackets make certain.


Is enclosed in parentheses in a formula with a function?

The arguments of the function are contained in the brackets of the function. For example: =Sum(A5:B10) All functions have brackets, though not all need to have something in the brackets. For example: =Now() Formulas can also have brackets to change the precedence of operators. See the related question below.

Why are brackets necessary in chemistry?

Brackets are necessary as it helps to differentiate between the different parts of chemical formulae. For example, take ammonium hydrogen phosphate. The chemical formula is: (NH4)2HPO4. The brackets signify that there are two NH4 atoms in the formula. If the brackets weren't there then it would be: NH42HPO3. Now it looks like that the one nitrogen atom is bonded to 42 hydrogen atoms and one phosphate molecule.
