Which of the following best explains why a structural formula of a chemical compound is more useful than a molecular formula? Both formulas identify the specific atoms in a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows how the atoms in a compound are bonded together. Both formulas identify the types of atoms in a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows how many atoms of each type are in a compound. Both formulas show the location of each valence electron in a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows the ratio of protons to neutrons within a compound. Both formulas show the ratio of protons to neutrons within a particular compound. However, a structural formula also shows the location of each valence electron in a compound.

What is a disadvantage of using a structural model to show a chemical compound? Structural models provide minimal three-dimensional information. Structural models do not identify the number and type of each atom. Structural models cannot distinguish between single, double, and triple bonds. Structural models cannot distinguish between different isomers of a compound.
