Meaning
A structural formula is a type of chemical formula which shows the arrangement of atoms in a compound.
About Structural Formula
- A structural formula gives more detail than a chemical formula about the arrangement of atoms in a compound as a chemical formula simply states the number of atoms of each element while a structural formula places them in order when there is a chain molecule.
