Key Points: Structural Representation of Organic Molecules
2D Representations
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Dash (Structural) Formula | Shows all atoms and all covalent bonds by dashes |
\[\begin{array}{cc} |
| Condensed Formula | Groups atoms together without showing all bonds | CH₃CH₂CH₃ or CH₃–CH₂–CH₃ |
| Bond Line / Zig-Zag Formula | Skeletal structure — lines represent C–C bonds; carbon atoms at line intersections and ends; H atoms implied |
3D Representations
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Wedge Formula |
Solid wedge
|
| Fischer Projection (Cross Formula) |
Carbon chain drawn vertically; horizontal lines represent bonds projecting up, vertical lines represent bonds going below the carbon.
|
| Newman Projection |
Front carbon shown as a point, rear carbon as a circle; remaining 3 bonds at each carbon drawn as spokes of a wheel.
|
| Sawhorse / Perspective Formula |
Three-dimensional representation showing spatial arrangement.
