Which choice identifies the compound’s structural formula, and what information does the structural formula provide that the molecular formula does not?Image A represents the structural formula, and only the structural formula allows the type of bond formed by the compound to be determined because it shows the element symbols written in order (metals and then nonmetals).
Image A represents the structural formula, and only the structural formula allows the type of bond formed by the compound to be determined because it shows the element symbols written in order (metals and then nonmetals).
Image A represents the structural formula, and only the structural formula allows the bond length of each bond between the atoms of the compound to be determined because it shows the bonds represented by a line.
