  2. Structural formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_formula

    Unlike other chemical formula types, [a] which have a limited number of symbols and are capable of only limited descriptive power, structural formulas provide a more complete geometric representation of the molecular structure. For example, many chemical compounds exist in different isomeric forms, which have different enantiomeric structures ...

  3. Skeletal formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_formula

    The skeletal formula of the antidepressant drug escitalopram, featuring skeletal representations of heteroatoms, a triple bond, phenyl groups and stereochemistry. The skeletal formula, line-angle formula, bond-line formula or shorthand formula of an organic compound is a type of molecular structural formula that serves as a shorthand representation of a molecule's bonding and some details of ...

  4. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_formula

    For simple molecules, a condensed (or semi-structural) formula is a type of chemical formula that may fully imply a correct structural formula. For example, ethanol may be represented by the condensed chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 OH, and dimethyl ether by the condensed formula CH 3 OCH 3.

    The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, ... Structural formula Notes formic acid: methanoic acid: HCO 2 H

  6. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    A cycloalkyl group is derived from a cycloalkane by removal of a hydrogen atom from a ring and has the general formula −C n H 2n−1. [2] Typically an alkyl is a part of a larger molecule. In structural formulae, the symbol R is used to designate a generic (unspecified) alkyl group. The smallest alkyl group is methyl, with the formula −CH 3 ...

    SMILES generation algorithm for ciprofloxacin: break cycles, then write as branches off a main backbone. The Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System (SMILES) is a specification in the form of a line notation for describing the structure of chemical species using short ASCII strings.

  8. Isomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomer

    For example, there are three distinct compounds with the molecular formula : . Structural isomers of C 3 H 8 O: I 1-propanol, II 2-propanol, III ethyl-methyl-ether.. The first two isomers shown of are propanols, that is, alcohols derived from propane.

  9. Hexose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexose

    In chemistry, a hexose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) with six carbon atoms. [1] [2] The chemical formula for all hexoses is C 6 H 12 O 6, and their molecular weight is 180.156 g/mol. [3]
