Molecular formulae and structural formulae of organic compounds
Chemists use a variety of ways to represent organic compounds. It is useful to know all of these so that you can recognize a molecule regardless of how it is represented. In this post, we will discuss the Molecular formulae and structural formulae of organic compounds. Structural formulae A structural formula is a graphic representation […]
