A single straight line is used to represent a single covalent bond between atoms. As examples,
C-H is a carbon bonded to a hydrogen by a single covalent bond. S-O is a sulfur bonded to an oxygen by a single covalent bond.
They represent the [single] double and triple covalent chemical bonds between atoms.
With a line
A single covalent bond between two atoms has 2 electrons.
Li2O.
no, single, double, and triple are allowed. That is what makes organic chemistry so flexible.
H--H
if it is a single dash then it means a single covalent bond.
They represent the [single] double and triple covalent chemical bonds between atoms.
With a line
A single covalent bond between two atoms has 2 electrons.
Li2O.
both are pure substances, but atoms represent the smallest bits of elements. compounds are chemically combined atoms, molecules represent the smallest bits of compounds. atoms cannot be broken down into simpler substances, compounds can be broken down into atoms.
The lines between the atoms of the elements in a compound represent covalent bonds. One line equals one pair of shared electrons. The lines are used to represent the structure of the molecule, how the atoms bond with one another, rather than just the number of each element in a molecule. One line represents one pair of electrons, or a single bond. Two lines represent two pairs of electrons, or a double bond, and three lines represent a triple bond.
"Symbols" represent single atoms. The chemical formulafor lead (IV) chloride is PbCl4.
no, single, double, and triple are allowed. That is what makes organic chemistry so flexible.

The lines in a structural formula represent the chemical bonds. These bonds are attractive forces between atoms that allow the formation of chemical substances.
