Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that different types of chemical formulas represent compounds in various ways, focusing on composition or structure.
Recall that the empirical formula shows the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, without indicating bonds or arrangement.
Recognize that the molecular formula gives the exact number of each type of atom in a molecule but does not show how atoms are connected.
Know that the Lewis dot formula represents valence electrons around atoms using dots, highlighting electron pairs but not explicitly showing bonds as lines.
Identify that the structural formula uses straight lines to represent covalent bonds between atoms, showing how atoms are connected in a neutral compound.
