Objectives
After completing this section, you should be able to
- propose one or more acceptable Kekulé structures (structural formulas) for any given molecular formula
- write the molecular formula of a compound, given its Kekulé structure.
- draw the shorthand structure of a compound, given its Kekulé structure.
- interpret shorthand structures and convert them to Kekulé structures.
- write the molecular formula of a compound, given its shorthand structure.
Study Notes
When drawing the structure of a neutral organic compound, you will find it helpful to remember that
- each carbon atom has four bonds.
- each nitrogen atom has three bonds.
- each oxygen atom has two bonds.
- each hydrogen atom has one bond.
It is necessary to draw structural formulas for organic compounds because in most cases a molecular formula does not uniquely represent a single compound.
Different compounds having the same molecular formula are called isomers, and the prevalence of organic isomers reflects the extraordinary versatility of carbon in forming strong bonds to itself and to other elements.
