The structural formula: lending
A newfound depiction, augmenting
Compound’s connectivity
Through visual proclivity;
First step t’ward 3-D orienting.

Molecular formula’s mission
For compound: precise definition
Of the atoms involved.
(Sans, though, structure resolved!)
Exact chemical composition.

#NaPoWriMo #SciencePoetry #Limericks

Denote compound’s key data, clerical,
In ratio set whole-numerical:
Relationship simple
For chemical symbols,
The formula known as empirical.
