Structural Representation Of Organic Compounds
Complete and Condensed Formulae Each pair of electron making a covalent bond is represented by a dash (—). Two dashes represent a double bond and three dashes represent a triple bond. Such structural representation are called complete structural formulae or graphic or displayed formulae. These structural formulae can be further condensed by enclosing … [Read more...] about Structural Representation Of Organic Compounds
