This is called a [[Structural Formula|structural formula]].*CH<sub>3</sub>COOH: [[Ethanoic Acid]] with 2 [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s, 2 [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s and 4 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s. This shows that one [[Carbon]] is [[Chemical Bond|bonded]] to three [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s while the other [[Carbon]] is [[Double Bond|double bonded]] to one [[Oxygen]] and has a [[Single Bond|single bond]] with an [[Oxygen]], which itself it bonded to a [[Hydrogen]].*CH<sub>3</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>COOH: [[Propanoic Acid]] with three [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s, two [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s and 6 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s. ===Examples==={| class="wikitable"| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |'''HCl'''| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |'''H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>'''| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |'''C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub>O'''| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |'''C<sub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub>O'''|-|[[File:BallandStickHydrochloricAcid.png|center|200px]]|[[File:BallandStickSulphuricAcid.png|center|200px]]|[[File:BallandStickPropanol.png|center|200px]]|[[File:BallandStickPropan-2-ol.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |[[Hydrochloric Acid]] [[molecule]]s have 1 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]] and 1 [[Chlorine]] [[atom]].| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |[[Sulphuric Acid]] [[molecule]]s have 2 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s, 1 [[Sulphur]] [[atom]] and 4 [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s.| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |[[Propanol]] or [[Propan-1-ol]] has 3 [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s and 8 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s and 1 [[Oxygen]] atom.
