C14H18O2

C14H18O2 is the molecular formula for a compound containing fourteen carbon atoms, eighteen hydrogen atoms, and two oxygen atoms. This formula can represent multiple different chemical structures, a phenomenon known as isomerism. Without further structural information, it is impossible to definitively identify the specific compound. However, molecules with this formula often fall into categories such as esters, ethers, or compounds containing ketone or aldehyde functional groups, in addition to alcohols or phenols depending on the arrangement of atoms. The physical and chemical properties of any given C14H18O2 isomer would vary significantly based on its unique structure. For example, isomers might differ in boiling point, melting point, solubility, reactivity, and biological activity. To identify a specific compound with this formula, its structural formula or systematic name would be required. These types of organic molecules find applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, fragrances, and polymers, though the specific use is entirely dependent on the exact molecular arrangement.
