Does a chemical formula tell you how many atoms of an element are in a unit of a compound?
yes it does
What indicates all the elements in the compound as well as how many atoms of each element are present?
A molecular formula.
What is importance of naming chemical formula?
A compound is a substance made up of a definite proportion of two or more elements. A chemical formula tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound. It contains the symbols of the atoms of the elements present in the compound as well as how many there are for each element in the form of subscripts
How many atoms per element in sulican dioxide?
The chemical formula of Silicon dioxide is SiO2. Two oxygen atoms are bond to a silicon atom. This compound has 3 atoms per molecule.
What does a chemical compound formula tell you?
It tells what elements are present in a molecule and how many atoms of each element are present.
How many atoms of a paticular element are in a compound?
It varies with the compound.
How many total atoms are in the element 2c6h8o7?
First, 2C6H8O7 is NOT an element it is a Compound. Second the formula for the compound TELLS you how many atoms are present! 2C6H8O7 = Ignoring the element symbols is 2*(6+8+7) 2*(6+8+7)= 2*(21) = 42 Atoms
Does a chemical formula tell you how many atoms of an element are in a unit of a compound?

How many atoms are in an element MgNO3 2?
Mg(NO3)2 is magnesium nitrate and it is not an element, but is a compound. Each molecule has 1 Mg atom + 2 N atoms + 6 O atoms for a total of 9 atoms per molecule. The more molecules you have, the more atoms you have.
How many atoms of an element are in a compound?
a chemical formula is made up two things what are they
What is the difference between atom element compound?
A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. For example, the element hydrogen is made from atoms containing just one proton and one electron.
How many atoms of each element make up the compound sugar?
i wanna say its C11H22011
How many atoms are there of each element in the compound NO3?
In each molecule of NO3, there is one nitrogen atom and there are three oxygen atoms.
How many different atoms are there in a compound?
Depends on the compound. The formula of that compound will tell you how many atoms are in it. Some compounds are pretty simple, like water. The formula for water is H2O. That means 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen (no subscript means 1.) So, two different types of atoms for a total of three. Or, you might have a compound with the formula of C8H10N4O2. That's caffeine. Count up all the subscripts for each element and you get a total of 24 atoms in that one. And there are plenty of compounds out there with more than that!
How many atoms of each element make up a molecule of the compound dinitrogen tetrahydride?
The name of the compound dinitrogen tetrahydride implies that the formula of the compound is N2H4. Therefore, each molecule contains two nitrogen atoms and four hydrogen atoms.
Does a subscript tell how many atoms of an element are in a unit of a compound?
Yes. No subscript means that there is just one.
What indicates all the elements in the compound as well as how many atoms of each element are present?
A molecular formula.
