Why are structural formulas more important in organic chemistry than in inorganic chemistry?
One reason (there are a lot more) is that in organic chemistry many more isomeres with the same chemical formula exist.
Example:
Na2S2O3: there is only 1 compound
But C2H4O2 has 3 possibilities:
- ethanoic acid: H3C-C(-OH)(=O)
- methoxymethanal: H3C-O-C(-H)(=O)
- hydroxyethanal: CH2OH-C(-H)(=O)

What is written first when writing formulas and then last in chemistry?
The most used system in inorganic chemistry: first the cation, second the anion (for not simple problems read the manual Nomenclature in inorganic chemistry edited by IUPAC). In organic chemistry, with very long and complicate formulas, the rules are also more difficult. It is necessary to read the manual Nomenclature in organic chemistry edited by IUPAC.I mention that in informatics the Hill system is used for chemical formulas.
Where can one find more information about molecular formulas?
Information about molecular formulas can be found on chemistry Internet sites or chemistry and physics blogs. They may also be found in chemistry books.
What is the difference in organic and inorganic formulas?
All organic compounds contain carbon; most inorganic compounds doesn't contain carbon.
Are formulas provided for the ftce chemistry test?
No, FTCE Chemistry test does not provide a formula sheet. You will need to memorize the key formulas and constants required for the exam.
What do molecular formulas and structural formulas have in common?
Molecular formulas contain no information about the arrangement of atoms. Because of this, one molecular formula can describe a number of different chemical structures. A structural formula is used to indicate not only the number of atoms, but also their arrangement in space.
When are structural formulas used?
Structural formulas are used primarily for organic compounds for which molecular formulas correspond to more than one isomer, or for chemical discussions in which the shapes of molecules are important, such as crystallography.

Are the molecular formulas for each of the amino acids the same?
No, in fact people used to think that structural homology was proof for evolution but if you look at the chemistry of two animals with the same structural homology they will be way different

Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are?
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are isomers. Isomers are compounds with the same number and types of atoms but arranged differently. An example is ethanol (C2H6O) and dimethyl ether (C2H6O), both have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
