Yes, because the mass of each element in a compound depends on the mass of the compound.
It is important to know the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound for the chemical composition.
That is called a formula.
The number of atoms in each element .
An empirical formula gives this information indirectly by specifying the ratios of numbers of atoms of each element in a compound to the total number of atoms in a compound. These ratios can then be mathematically converted into the mass ratios specified in the question by using the known atomic weights of each element present: The mass ratio of element "Q" to element "R" is equal to the number ratio multiplied by the ratio of the atomic weight of element Q to that of element R. For example, the number ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water is 2, but the mass ratio is 2(1.008/15.999) = 0.1260.
You think probable to chemical symbols.
The percent composition of a compound tells the amount of each element in the compound as a percentage. It is possible to find if the mass of an element and the total mass of the compound is known.
That will depend on the gravity field and the amount (mass) of each element that you are weighing.
They are each an element A hydro-carbon is a compound
That depends on the compound.
A pure element (on an atomic scale) is a series of the same atoms (same amount of electrons). Elements in compounds are fused to each other meaning that their amount of electrons may have changed and they may have a different charge.

The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.

A chemical formula tells what elements make up a compound and the exact number of atoms of each element in a unit of compound. :)
None. If carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen happen to chemically combine, they form an organic compound. 'Compound', not element. (These 3 substances are each an element).
The number of atoms of one element in the compound
