Why is the number placed below an element symbol in a chemical formula is called a subscript?
This number is the number of atoms of this element in the formula; and subscript meaning is down.
What is a number written to the right of a chemical symbol?
a subscript Number of atoms of that element in the molecule.
What is the carbon and argon symbol?
Well, in science I am learning atoms. Element: Carbon ....... Symbol: C ...... Atomic Number: 6 ....... Atomic Mass: 12 Element: Argon ......... Symbol: Ar...... Atomic Number: 18 ..... Atomic Mass: 40
What type of number after a chemical symbol tells how many atoms of that of that element are in a single molecule?
It is the subscripted number immediately after the chemical element symbol in the molecular formula. If there is no number, then only one atom of that element is in itExample:H2O means two H's plus one O in water,NH3 = one N and three H atoms in ammonia
What is the chemical symbol for an element whose atoms have 11 electrons?
For an neutral element that has the same number of electrons and protons, the element with 11 electrons is Na, sodium.
How is the number of atoms of a specific element in a compound denoted by?
The subscript to the left of the element symbol (unless it doesn't have a subscript; then the number of of atoms in the element is 1)
Why is the number placed below an element symbol in a chemical formula is called a subscript?
This number is the number of atoms of this element in the formula; and subscript meaning is down.
What identifies and element?
Atoms are differentiated by their number of protons. This is equal to the atomic number of the element. Additionally, in chemical formulas, each element is represented by a unique atomic symbol.

How is the coefficient used to count the number of atoms in a substance?
These coefficients are subscripts after the symbol of the chemical element.
What is a number written to the right of a chemical symbol?
a subscript Number of atoms of that element in the molecule.
What is the number of atoms in an element?
The number of atoms in an element depends on WHAT element AND how much of that element.
What is the carbon and argon symbol?
Well, in science I am learning atoms. Element: Carbon ....... Symbol: C ...... Atomic Number: 6 ....... Atomic Mass: 12 Element: Argon ......... Symbol: Ar...... Atomic Number: 18 ..... Atomic Mass: 40
The number of atoms of each element present in the molecule is indicated by what?
A subscript number after each atomic symbol in a formula for the compound.
What is significance of the symbol of an element?
Sigificance of the Symbol of an Element :- 1. Symbol represents name of the element. 2. Symbol represents one atom of the element. 3. Symbol also represents one mole of atoms of the element. That is, symbol also represents 6.022 x 1023 atoms of the element. 4. Symbol represents a define mass of the element (equal to Atomic Mass expressed in grams).
What type of number after a chemical symbol tells how many atoms of that element are in a single molecules?
That would be subscript.
