Answer:

the sketch of the molecule

Step-by-step explanation:

the chemical formula can only provide the type and number of different elements/compounts in the molecule, but there are lots of different ways they could arrange depending on the formula. A sketch of the molecule would show what type of bonds might be happening and where the elements are located in the compound.
