What kinds of information does a structural formula reveal about the compound it represents

In organic chemistry, the structural formula shows the bonding and general layout of the molecule.

Explanation:

It can also help in naming the molecule, as many compounds with the same molecular formula have different structural formulas, for example cycloalkanes and alkenes, or aldehydes and ketones.

It tells us about the constituents of the compound, or in other words, the functional groups present. This enables us to predict what kind of properties the compound has and what kind of reactions it can undergo.

It can also help us determine the stereochemistry (shape and spatial orientation) of the compound. This is especially important in organic chemistry and organic chemstry, since certain important reactions will proceed if and only if a molecule with the right shape is employed.

explanation:

let the different atoms be x and y. each with four protons and same mass will be represented as follows.

mass number is number of protons + number of neutrons.

            and  

since, it is given that one has a negative charge while the other is neutral. therefore, there will be increase in number of protons and the atom will be represented as follows.

according to periodic table, mass number of beryllium is 9 and it has atomic number 4 so, the atoms will be and .  

the protons and neutrons will be located inside the nucleus whereas the electrons will be revolving around the nucleus.
