Question

Which of the following is incorrect about the structural formulas?
A. (1) They indicate the way the atoms are attached to each other.
B. (2) They are representation of the actual shaps of the molecule.
C. (3) They show what is called the connectively of the atoms.
D. (4) Dot structure shows all of the valence electrons.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - B
Structural formulas do not describe the actual shapes and geometries of the molecule. For example, in dash formulas, the chain of atoms is straight but in the actual shape of the molecule, the chain of atoms is not at all straight.
