Concept Introduction:
The organic compounds which consist of only carbon and hydrogen atoms are called hydrocarbons. The atoms in hydrocarbons are linked by single, double, or triple bonds.
The graphic representation of a chemical compound is called its structural formula. It represents the arrangement of atoms.
In a condensed structural formula, the bond between atoms in a compound is represented by the absence of a line.
The chemical formula that represents the total number of atoms arranged in a molecule is known as the molecular formula.
