Q

what is a structural formula show

A

it is a simplified version of the displayed formula where it would show (unambiguously) how atoms are joined together. where it would group each atom joined to a particular carbon atom

Q

what is a skeletal formula show

A

it shows a zigzag line that would represent the carbon bonds, every change of direction and every ending means there is a carbon atom(with as many carbons as needed). it would start with CH3 and end with CH3
