A Chemical Structure is a number of atoms of each element in a compound. The structural formula shows both the actual number of atoms of elements in a compound and also how the atoms are arranged as well as which atoms are bonded to one another.

So, as noted here, there's an awful lot of information on chemical structures available in various parts of WP, but no coherence to them. I'd like to use this page to start consolidating information on chemical structure, make sure articles are in the right place, and redirect/merge stubs and similar articles when necessary.

The first task is to try to find as many pages on chemical structure as you can. I'll start out shortly; please feel free to add to the list below. --ES2 18:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It has been proposed that Structure determination be merged here. Please discuss below. --Bduke (talk) 00:56, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds fine; both articles are very short and mostly talk about the same thing. --Itub (talk) 10:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't structure the correct name for what is described here? Geometry is the mathematical discipline and has nothing to do with a single structure, right? So geometry shouldn't be used in this article. --129.105.116.55 (talk) 19:00, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a very important article, which in its present unsourced, and stub quality state, is useless as a wikilink, and unusable as an article to which people can be directed to learn. Because of its fundamental importance—in just one type of this work, thousands of chemists walk, daily, to NMR instruments to perform measurements toward this aim—and its state, I am calling for expert attention.
