To determine:
The difference between a Lewis structure and a condensed structure is to be stated.
Introduction:
Condensed structure formula is the writing of organic structures from left to right in one line and this structural formula is simple as it does not show any bonds or lone pairs of atoms and shows no connectivity of atoms in a molecule. It shows the shorter way to draw a molecule and is more simplified than that from Lewis structure. It shows all atoms except the vertical bonds and most or all the horizontal bonds.
Lewis structures show all atoms, bonds, and lone pairs of atoms in the molecule. It helps in predicting the molecular geometry and shows the connectivity of atoms in a molecule. It is a graphic representation that shows the electron distribution around the atoms.
