Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 34
Molecular formula
CORRECT ANSWER
Representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols to indicate the type of atoms, followed by subscripts
to show the number of atoms of each type in the molecule
RATIONALE
Molecular formulas convey the specific types and quantities of atoms in a compound using chemical symbols and
subscripts, reflecting the composition and stoichiometry essential for understanding molecular structure and
behavior in chemical reactions. This representation is critical for predicting properties and reactivity of substances
in various chemical contexts.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 34
Structural formula
CORRECT ANSWER
Gives the same information as a molecular formula but shows how atoms are connected in the molecule using
lines
RATIONALE
A structural formula illustrates the connectivity of atoms within a molecule, providing insight into the molecule's
three-dimensional arrangement and bonding, unlike a molecular formula which only indicates the quantity and types
of atoms present. Understanding this connectivity is vital for predicting chemical reactivity and properties.
