The structural formula for propanol is C3H7OH, where C represents a carbon atom, H represents a hydrogen atom, and OH represents a hydroxyl group.
The correct structural formula for N2 with a triple bond is N≡N. It shows that there are three pairs of electrons shared between the two nitrogen atoms, resulting in a very strong bond.
Electricity is not a substance with a specific chemical formula or structural formula. It is the flow of electrons through a conductor like a wire. The behavior of electricity is governed by the movement of electric charge.
