Formaldehyde is an organic compound. Each molecule includes two hydrogen (H) atoms, one oxygen (O) atom, and one carbon (C) atom. Below are the dot structures for each of these elements.

At left, a purple circle labeled H surrounded by two concentric circles, the inner with nothing on it, the outer with 1 small green spheres. In center, a purple circle labeled O surrounded by two concentric circles, the inner with 2 small green spheres, the outer with 6 small green spheres. At right, a purple circle labeled C surrounded by two concentric circles, the inner with 2 small green spheres, the outer with 4 small green spheres.
