Chapter 5, Problem 5.49QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
From the ball-and-stick model of alanine derive the molecular formula.
Concept introduction:
Molecular formula is a chemical formula which shows nature and total number of atoms in a molecule but not the arrangement of atoms in a compound. Sometimes molecular formula resembles like structure of compound but it is not structural formula.
