Study Notes
Molecular Structures
- A structural formula shows the arrangement of atoms in a molecule of a compound.
Representation of Carbon Atoms
- A zigzag or stick figure representation is used for carbon atoms in a bond-line structure.
Lewis Structure
- A Lewis structure shows the valence electrons, electron pairs, and bonds for each element in a molecule.
- It also shows the arrangement of electrons in a molecule.
Molecular Representation
- A condensed structure groups atoms of the same type bonded to one other atom together.
- It may not always show bonds.
Ring Structures
- A ring structure is a type of drawing where carbon atoms are joined together in rings.
Chemical Formula
- An empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in a compound.
