The "small numbers" are called subscript (for below) and superscript (for above). They are commonly done this way by first highlighting the numbers or symbols, then clicking on the right tool; for example, above they are the buttons 'x2' and 'x2'. Most other programs also use similar symbols to denote a super-/subscript option.
What else can I help you with?
What are formulas for a covalent compounds called?
Formulas for covalent compounds are called molecular formulas. They show the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule.
Describe the differences between molecular formulas and structural formulas for molecular compounds?
A molecular formula lists the numbers of the atoms of a specific element in a compound. A structural formula is a picture of how the atoms in a specific molecule are connected, with each atom represented by its chemical symbol. For example, oxygen's molecular formula is O2. Its structural formula is O-O.
What are the small numbers in formulas used to tell how many atoms are present?
subscripts
What is the molecular formulas for methane?
CH4
Do you have a list of common molecular formulas?
Some common molecular formulas include H2O for water, NaCl for salt, C12H22O11 for sugar, and C2H6O for alcohol. The molecular formula for vinegar is CH3COOH.
What are the molecular and structural formulas of water?
H20
What gives you the most information a molecular or a structural formula?
A structural formula gives more information because it shows not only the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule, but also how they are connected to each other. Molecular formulas only provide the types and numbers of atoms in a molecule.
What do molecular formulas and structural formulas have in common?
Molecular formulas contain no information about the arrangement of atoms. Because of this, one molecular formula can describe a number of different chemical structures. A structural formula is used to indicate not only the number of atoms, but also their arrangement in space.
What term is used for molecules that have identical molecular formulas but the atoms in each molecule are arranged differently?
Molecules that have identical molecular formulas but the atoms in each molecule are arranged differently are called isomers.
Where can one find more information about molecular formulas?
Information about molecular formulas can be found on chemistry Internet sites or chemistry and physics blogs. They may also be found in chemistry books.
Are the molecular formulas for all amino acids the same. what is this called?
No, the molecular formulas for all amino acids are not the same. The unique molecular formula for each amino acid is referred to as its chemical structure.
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are?
Two compounds that have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas are isomers. Isomers are compounds with the same number and types of atoms but arranged differently. An example is ethanol (C2H6O) and dimethyl ether (C2H6O), both have the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
