AQA A Level Chemistry复习笔记3.1.2 Types of Formulae
Types of Formulae
- The general formula is a formula that represents a homologous series of compounds using letters and numbers
- Eg. the general formula of alkanes is CnH2n+2
- A homologous series is a group of organic compounds that have the same functional group, the same general formula and the same chemical properties
- The structural formula is a formula that shows how the atoms are bonded to each carbon atom in a molecule
- The displayed formula is a 2D representation of an organic molecule showing all its atoms (by their symbols) and their bonds (by single, double or triple bonds)
- The skeletal formula is a simplified displayed formula with all the carbon and hydrogen (C-H) bonds removed

Molecular & Empirical Formulae
- The molecular formula shows the number and type of each atom in a molecule
- Eg. the molecular formula of ethanoic acid is C2H4O2
- The empirical formula shows the simplest whole number ratio of the elements present in one molecule of the compound
- Eg. the empirical formula of ethanoic acid is CH2O
