A dashed structural formula uses straight lines to show chemical bonds.[1] The connections are usually drawn in 90 degree angles or 180 degree angles due to its ease.[1] The advantage to type of formula is it allows one to view the connections between atoms, but the downside is that it may be hard to write in this style.[1]
