The subscript numbers in a chemical formula indicate the number of atoms of the element they follow. No subscript means 1 atom.
For example, H2O, or water, has 2 atoms and 1 atom of oxygen of hydrogen in each molecule. Or, in a more complex example a molecule of H2SO4, sulfuric acid, contains 2 hydrogen atoms, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms.

What is the molecular formula for sulfide?
H2SO3 is the molecular formula of sulfurous acid.
Which formula shows the numbers and types of atoms in a molecule but not the bond?
The molecular formula shows the numbers and types of atoms in a molecule, but not how they are bonded. The structural formula shows how the atoms are bonded.
What is the advantage of using a structural formula over a molecular formula?
A molecular formula indicates the numbers of atoms of each element in the molecule, but a structural formula also indicates the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. For example, H2O is the molecular formula for water, but H-O-H is the structural formula, showing how the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are arranged in the molecule.
What summarises all the atoms in a molecule?
The atoms in a molecule are summarised by the molecular formula. The molecular formula is the identity and numbers of its constituent atoms.
Is CCI4 a molecular formula or formula unit?
CCl4 is molecular formula.
What is the molecular formula for sulfide?
H2SO3 is the molecular formula of sulfurous acid.
What shows the types and numbers of atmos joined in a single molecule of a molecular compound?
molecular formula
Which formula shows the numbers and types of atoms in a molecule but not the bond?
The molecular formula shows the numbers and types of atoms in a molecule, but not how they are bonded. The structural formula shows how the atoms are bonded.
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 is a chemical formula that shows the numbers and kinds of atoms in a molecule but is not the arrangement of the atoms?
A molecular formula shows the numbers and kinds of atoms in a molecule but not the arrangement of the atoms.
What is the empirical formula for butane?
Well you know that Butanoic Acid's Molecular formula is C3H7COOH, and Empirical formula is a compound showig the simplest ratio of numbers of atoms of each element in the compound. Now the question is, can you simply C3H7COOH ? Nope! Then the Empirical formula is also C3H7COOH
What is the empirical formula for Hg2F2?
Molecular formula is Hg2F2 . The empirical formula is HgF . For empirical formulas you reduce the numbers as far as possible.
What is the advantage of using a structural formula over a molecular formula?
A molecular formula indicates the numbers of atoms of each element in the molecule, but a structural formula also indicates the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. For example, H2O is the molecular formula for water, but H-O-H is the structural formula, showing how the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are arranged in the molecule.
What is the empirical formula for a compound whose molecular formula is C2Cl6?
What you have listed is the molecular formula, C6H4Cl2, the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula in this case being C3H2Cl.
A multiple of an empirical formula is often called what?
molecular formula :]-kyrstiann dynae :]
Is H2O a molecular formula or formula unit?
a molecular formula
Which chemical formula is both an empirical formula and a molecular formula?
It would be a molecular formula for C3h5o.
