Strictly speaking, no: a formula is a symbolic representation of a molecule and/or compound (to the extent that there's any real distinction between the two).
The chemical formula of a compound states the number and types of atoms in each molecule of a compound.
This formula is C3H8.
A molecule
the lowest whole number ratio of elements in a compound A+
This compound is a molecule, so NOT an element, nor mixture. Chem. formula: C6H12O6 (an example of carbohydrate
The chemical formula of a compound states the number and types of atoms in each molecule of a compound.
A chemical formula is the representation of a molecule of a chemical compound; all the atoms from the molecule of this compound need to be represented in the formula.
C6H12O6 (Glucose) is the molecular formula of a compound. So it is both.
The structural formula show the spatial aspect of the molecule.
The structural formula show the spatial aspect of the molecule.
This formula is C3H8.
A molecule
NO.
The chemical formula that shows how the compound exists in nature
The traditional answer is molecule. However, it is not now usual to refer to a formula unit of an ionic compound in this way.
A molecule is two or more elements bonded together, and a compound is a molecule containing at least two elements. The word formula fits in to tell you whether you have a compound or a molecule by telling you the number of elements (atoms) in the molecule.
It tells what elements are in a compound and the number of each type of atom in each molecule/formula unit.
