The chemical formula does not show how the atoms are connected to one another.
When we write the chemical formula of any substance, we are not able to understand the spatial arrangement of that substance's atoms. This is extremely important in organic compounds, which exhibit different physical characteristics as well as different chemical characteristics due to the way their atoms are arranged in space. These isomers are known as enantiomers.

ICE Princess25 [194]
You are given two beakers, distilled water, two hot plates, two thermometers and salt. These materials are enough in order to test the effect of salt in the boiling point water. To do this, you set up two beakers. In one of the beakers, you add pure distilled water and nothing else. For the other beaker, you put a solution of salt and water. You place these beakers on separate hot plates and place inside the beakers the thermometers. You heat these substances until they boil and then you measure the boiling points of the substances. You would observe that the boiling point of the solution would have a higher boiling point than the pure liquid.
