Condensed structual formula
Appearance
A condensed structual formula is a mixture of the ease found in the molecular formula, and the information found in the dashed structural formula.[1] In this style, the atoms are usually written without any sort of dashes or other signs, and the hydrogen atoms are written on the right side of the atom connection.[1] As an example, the condensed structural formula for propane would be: CH3CH2CH3.[1] However, dashes are sometimes utilized for more complicated formulas due to their potential ability to make the structure of the molecule easier to see.[1]
