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.

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.

Explanation:

The structural formula is the representation of a compound where the atoms are actually arranged around each other the way they should be present in a compound. So structural formula shows the bonding, type of bonds (Sigma or pi) and overall arrangement.

In molecular formula we have just number of atoms of each element present in the compound which can also be identified with structural formula.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
