What is meant by 'condensed formulas' in chemistry?
Structural formulas showing only the arrangement of atoms
How are normal atomic valences considered when using condensed formulas?
They are emphasized in condensed formulas
Why are normal atomic valences important in understanding condensed formulas?
They indicate the number of bonds an atom can form
What happens if normal atomic valences are not considered in condensed formulas?
The molecule's geometry is distorted
How do condensed formulas differ from Lewis structures?
Condensed formulas emphasize valence electrons, while Lewis structures emphasize core electrons
What is the purpose of hybridization in atoms?
