Molecular Formula
The chemical formula that indicates the exact makeup of one molecule.
Molecular Compounds
Compounds consisting of molecules formed by covalent bonding.
Properties of Molecular Compounds
Weaker bonds compared to ionic bonds, lower melting and boiling points, and can exist as solids, liquids, or gases at room temperature.
Dot Formula
A representation that shows the valence electrons of atoms within a molecule.
Structural Formula
