Displayed Formula, Structural Formula and Skeletal Formula

Question 1

What is displayed formula?

Answer 1

= relative position of each atom
= + covalent bonds
= does not show accurate bond angle

Question 2

What is structural formula?

Answer 2

= shows how atoms are arranged
= does not show bond
= you need to show carbon atoms in turn

Question 3

What is skeletal formula?

Answer 3

= simplest possible way to represent the structure of an organic molecule
= only show functional groups
= shows bonds
