Describe the differences between molecular formulas and structural formulas for molecular compounds?
A molecular formula lists the numbers of the atoms of a specific element in a compound. A structural formula is a picture of how the atoms in a specific molecule are connected, with each atom represented by its chemical symbol. For example, oxygen's molecular formula is O2. Its structural formula is O-O.
Why do chemists use structural formulas for organic compounds rather then molecular formulas such as C5H12?
Starting with C4H10, hydrocarbons can have multiple configurations, called isomers, for the same formula. These isomers are regarded as different compounds and have different physical and chemical properties. In such cases simply using the chemical formula would be ambiguous.
What are the two major types of compounds?
There are two types of compounds: molecular and ionic. ill give you an example of each Water-H20 molecular compound Salt-NaCl ionic compoundThere are ionic compounds which is a compound formed by a positive metal ion and a negative nonmetal ion. And there are convalent compounds which is a compound formed in which atoms share electrons.
Why are most molecular compound poor conductors?
Molecular compounds are poor conductors because they have no charge. Molecular compounds are simply just covalent bonds. Since covalent compounds dont give or take, they SHARE valence electrons they have no charge. Electricity is only created by positive and negative electrons, but since a molecular compound has no charge they are poor conductors. ONLY MOST ARE POOR CONDUCTORS. Why? Sometimes there is an unbalance and some molecules like Water tend be favor positive or negative, water for instance is just slightly negative.
Do molecular compounds exist as gases Give examples to justify your answer?
Natural gas is a molecular compound, mostly methane, CH4. Ethane, propane, and butane are also frequently used as fuels and are gases at room temperature (I assume this is what you mean because any molecular compound exists in a gaseous phase at the correct temperature and pressure). These are all alkanes, the simplest type of organic compounds. Carbon dioxide is a common molecular compound that is a gas at room temperature. Liquids (as well as solids to a much lesser extent) have a vapor pressure, and hence are partially dissociated as gases in the air around us all the time. There are gaseous water particles in the air. Whenever you smell something, a gaseous molecule (which may have vaporized) travels through the air and into your nose and triggers the chemoreceptors in your olfactory receptors. Think of all the solids that you can smell from a distance, and realize that a tiny amount of it has vaporized and is in its gaseous form in the air. [[The ability for this to occur is usually called volatility, but the notion that only volatile compounds can be smelled has recently come under attack.]]

Examples of different sub-fields of biology and give their specialization?
one subfield in biology are molecular geneticts, which study the molecular structure and functions of genes.
Give some examples of organic compounds?
glucose fructose cocaine nicotine testosterone
What is the molecular structure of orange juice?
Orange juice is mainly composed of water, sugars (such as glucose and fructose), citric acid, and various volatile compounds that give it its characteristic aroma. The molecular structure of orange juice is complex and varies depending on its specific composition, which includes a variety of organic compounds like vitamins, flavonoids, and carotenoids.
Binary molecular compounds end in?
-ide. H2S is Hydrogen Sulfide. The di- in Carbon dioxide refers to two oxygens, while the -ide refers to two types of Atoms in the Molecule. Na+ and Cl- give sodium chlorIDE.
Examples of chemical compounds?
sodium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, sodium fluoride, sodium chloride, carbon dioxide......
Why some compounds have molecular and empirical formula?
The concept of empirical formulas apply to ionic compounds. You write the action first, the anion second, and use the minimal amount of atoms possible to make a neutral compound. A molecular formula would be the formula without necessarily the minimum amount of atoms.

Give the examples of organic compounds from plant sources?
Some complex organic compounds are things like coconut milk, yeast, and fruit juice, obviously from plants. Starches and sugar are also organic compounds from plant sources.
