What is an organic compound with identical molecular formulas that differ in the order the atoms are connected?
Organic compounds that have identical molecular formulas but different structural formulas are called isomers.
How are organic compounds classified if they have with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas?
they are structual isomers. In alenes they will be e or z isomers ( cis trans0
What does a structural formula depict that a molecular formula does not?
Structural formulas show a representation of the molecular structure, while chemical formulas do not. This is especially important when multiple compounds have the same chemical formula, but a different molecular structure.
What is the compound of c6 h8 06?
The problem with giving molecular formulas for organic compounds is that it could be lots of different things. Nothing with that particular molecular formula is leaping to mind as a most likely candidate.
Can molecules with molecular formulas c4h10 and c4h10o be isomers of one another Why or why not?
No, because the second formula contains an oxygen atom and the first formula does not. Structural isomers must have the same numbers of all types of atoms.

When are structural formulas used?
Structural formulas are used primarily for organic compounds for which molecular formulas correspond to more than one isomer, or for chemical discussions in which the shapes of molecules are important, such as crystallography.
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.
What do molecular formulas and structural formulas have in common?
Molecular formulas contain no information about the arrangement of atoms. Because of this, one molecular formula can describe a number of different chemical structures. A structural formula is used to indicate not only the number of atoms, but also their arrangement in space.
Why do geometrical isomers differ in their physical and chemical properties?
Isomers differ in their structural formulas. For example, the chemical formula for the simple sugars glucose, fructose, and galactose is C6H12O6, but their structural formulas are different, which gives them different properties. Glucose, fructose, and galactose are isomers of one another.
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 molecular and structural formulas of water?
H20
Formaldehyde and acetic acid have the same empirical formula but different?
These two compounds has different molecular formulas.
Is it possible for different covalent compounds to have the same empirical formula?
Yes. They would just have different molecular formulas
Which compounds are simply chemical compounds that contain carbon in their molecular formulas?
Organic Compounds.
What molecules have the same molecular formula but different structures and properties?
Isomers are compounds that have same molecular formulas but different structures. A familiar example is the case of glucose and fructose. Both have the same formula viz, C6H1206. But they have different structures and hence exhibit different properties.
