Solution Steps

Step 1: Find the molecular formula of a

Count the number of each atom type in structure a: 3 Carbons, 5 Hydrogens, 1 Nitrogen, and 1 Oxygen.

Step 2: Find the molecular formula of b

Count the number of each atom type in structure b: 4 Carbons, 8 Hydrogens, and 2 Oxygens.

Step 3: Determine the type of formula

Both structures show all of the atoms and all of the bonds. This fits the definition of expanded or structural formulas.

Final Answer:

The molecular formula of a is C3H5NO. The molecular formula of b is C4H8O2. These are structural formulas.
