This is a structural model.
A structural formula provides the most information because it shows not only which elements and how many atoms of them are present in the molecule, but it also shows how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.
A molecular formula shows the numbers and kinds of atoms in a molecule but not the arrangement of the atoms.
A molecular formula shows the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule, but not the bonds. A structural formula shows the way in which the atoms bond.
It shows the shape of the molecule
A REPRENTATION OF A MOLECULE SHOWING 3 DIMENTIONAL STRUCTURE, IT SHOWS HOW BIG THE ATOMS ARE IN RELATION TO EACH OTHER AND THE OVERALL SHAPE OF THE MOLECULE
A structural formula
A structural formula provides the most information because it shows not only which elements and how many atoms of them are present in the molecule, but it also shows how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.
That is a structural formula. For example, the chemical formula for water is H2O and its structural formula is H-O-H, which shows how the atoms are arranged in the molecule.
