Additional Information for Identifying Formaldehyde Molecule

  • Chemical structure of formaldehyde

    By visualizing the structure data file (SDF/MOL File) above, the chemical structure image of formaldehyde is available in chemical structure page of formaldehyde, which specifies the molecular geometry, i.e., the spatial arrangement of atoms and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together.

  • Molecular weight of formaldehyde

    The molecular weight of formaldehyde is available in molecular weight page of formaldehyde, which is calculated as the sum of the atomic masses of each constituent element multiplied by the number of atoms of that element.

  • Chemical formula of formaldehyde

    The chemical formula of formaldehyde is given in chemical formula page of formaldehyde, which identifies each constituent element by its chemical symbol and indicates the proportionate number of atoms of each element.

  • InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) information of formaldehyde

    An alternative way of expressing structural information in text format is InChI. The full standard InChI of formaldehyde is:

    InChI=1S/CH2O/c1-2/h1H2

    It can provide a standard way to encode the molecular information of formaldehyde to facilitate the search for the compound information in databases and on the web.

    The condensed, 27 character standard InChIKey (hashed version of the full standard InChI) of formaldehyde is:

    InChIKey=WSFSSNUMVMOOMR-UHFFFAOYSA-N

    The InChIKey may allow easier web searches for formaldehyde, but it needs to be linked to the full InChI to get back to the original structure of the formaldehyde since the full standard InChI cannot be reconstructed from the InChIKey.
