The structural formula of the alkane series, which consists of saturated hydrocarbons, can be represented by the general formula (C_nH_{2n+2}), where (n) is the number of carbon atoms. In this series, carbon atoms are connected by single bonds, and each carbon atom is bonded to enough hydrogen atoms to satisfy its tetravalency. For example, the structural formula for ethane (with (n=2)) is (C_2H_6), which can be represented as (H_3C-CH_3).
The structural formula of 3-oxopentanal is CH3CH2CH2COCHO.
The complete or full structural formula shows all the atoms and their bonds separately. The condensed structural formula shows the atoms present but does not show the bonds.
The structural formula show the position of atoms in a molecule.
The condensed structural formula for N-methylaniline is CH3C6H4NH2.
The structural formula of 1,2-ethanediol is HOCH2CH2OH.
