What is the difference between a structural formula and molecular formula?
Empirical formulas show the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, molecular formulas show the number of each type of atom in a molecule, and structural formulas show how the atoms in a molecule are bonded to each other.

What are the three types of chemical formulas?
There are three main types of chemical formulas: empirical, molecular and structural. Empirical formulas show the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, molecular formulas show the number of each type of atom in a molecule, and structural formulas show how the atoms in a molecule are bonded to each other.

How do you draw a structural formula for a molecule?
To draw a 2-dimensional (full display) structural formula given the skeletal formula: Place a carbon atom at the end of each line. (and/or at the place where two or more lines meet) Add bonds so that each carbon atom makes 4 bonds. Add hydrogen atoms to the end of each of these bonds.
What is a skeletal formula?
A skeletal formula is a 2-dimensional (full display) structural formula in which the following have been removed: 鈿?carbon atoms. 鈿?hydrogen atoms attached directly to carbon atoms. 鈿?bonds between carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms. Skeletal formula are the most common way for professional Chemists to represent organic (carbon-based) molecules.
