It varies with the compound.
You can determine the number of atoms of each element in a compound by using the chemical formula of the compound. The subscripts in the formula indicate the number of atoms of each element. For example, in H2O (water), there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
yes it does
a chemical formula is made up two things what are they
The number of atoms of a particular element in a compound can vary depending on the chemical formula of the compound. You can determine the number of atoms by looking at the subscripts in the chemical formula. For example, in H2O (water), there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
In each molecule of NO3, there is one nitrogen atom and there are three oxygen atoms.
The compound CaSO4 contains 1 calcium atom, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms.
The formula of a compound is written using the symbols of the elements present in the compound and subscript numbers to represent the ratio of each element in the compound. The subscript numbers indicate how many atoms of each element are present in a molecule of the compound.
The prefixes in a covalent compound name indicate the number of each element present in the compound. The prefixes are used to determine the subscripts in the chemical formula, specifying how many atoms of each element are bonded together.
A molecular formula.
Yes. No subscript means that there is just one.
This is farely simple. The subscripts just tell you how many atoms of an element are in the compund. Like this: H20 - Water has 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom CO2 - Carbon Dioxide has 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. hence the name carbon di(which means 2)oxide(oxygen). The numbers succeeding elements indicate the number of atoms of that particular element in the compound. For example, in H20, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. In H2SO4, there ar two Hydrogen atoms, one Sulfur atom and four Oxygen atoms.
The subscript number after a chemical symbol indicates how many atoms of that element are present in a single molecule of the compound.
