A chemical formula includes the symbols of the elements in the compound and subscripts that indicate what?
The number of moles in each element
What doesn't the chemical formula of a compound indicate?
The chemical formula of a compound does not indicate the structure of the molecule, such as the ways in which the atoms are bonded to one another. For example, CO2 is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide, but doesn't tell you how the atoms are bonded together. The structural formula of carbon dioxide is O=C=O. Now we can see that the carbon atom is in the middle, and the two oxygen atoms both form a double bond with the central carbon atom, and not to each other. It also shows that it is a linear molecule.
Why is the chemical symbol of a molecule of a compound also called the chemical formula of the compound?
The chemical formula of a compound states the number and types of atoms in each molecule of a compound.
What information in a chemical formula mean?
The chemical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a chemical compound.
Formula of compound argon?
Not formula but the chemical symbol for argon: Ar. Also argon is not a compound but a chemical element.
What is the chemical structure of solid?
The chemical formula for solids is like the regular chemical formula of an element or compound. The only difference is that an "(s)" is added next to the right end of the formula to indicate the phase. Example: What is the chemical formula of solid sodium chloride (NaCl) ? Chemical formula: NaCl Chemical formula to indicate that it is a solid: NaCl (s) Additional information: The "(s)" abbreviation is used to indicate that the compound is a solid. A "(g)" abbreviation is used to indicate that the compound is a gas. A "(l)" abbreviation is used to indicate that the compound is a liquid. An "(aq)" abbreviation is used to indicate that the compound is dissolved, and therefore soluble, in water.
How does the chemical formula of a compound relate to the relative number of atoms in the compound?
Chemical formulas consist of chemical symbols and numbers. The symbols represent the elements in the compound. The numbers indicate the quantity of atoms of each element in the compound.
A chemical formula includes the symbols of the elements in the compound and subscripts that indicate what?
The number of moles in each element
Why mixtures don't have chemical formula while compound have chemical formula?
Because as a rule only a chemical compound has a chemical formula; a mixture contain two or many componds and each compound has a different chemical formula.

What is the different between the chemical name and the chemical formula for a compound?
the difference is that the formula does not have the same categories as the chemical compound does

What does a chemical formula present?
The chemical formula is representative for the chemical composition of a compound.
What is chemical formula for kieselguhr?
Kieselguhr is a rock not a chemical compound with a chemical formula.
What formula represents a molecular compound?
Organic formula is a formula that shows an organic compound and its molecular arrangement.
