Study Notes
Types of Formulas
- A structural formula shows the arrangement of atoms in the molecule of a compound.
- A Lewis structure shows the valence electrons for each element.
Molecular Structure
- A dash structure groups together atoms of the same type bonded to one other atom.
Representation of Molecular Structure
- A stick figure or line-angle structure represents the skeletal structure of a molecule.
Carbon Compounds
- When carbon atoms are joined together in rings, cyclic compounds are formed.
Simplest Ratio Formula
- An empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in a compound.
