O2 meaning Oxygen, the subscript 2 means that oxygen generally doesn't run around as single atoms. Instead, oxygen pairs up, with each oxygen atom bonding with another to form a molecule.
Molecules of oxygen exist in two relatively stable allotropes: breathable oxygen with the formula O2, and ozone with the formula O3. The little number indicates that these molecules are composed of (respectively) two or three oxygen atoms.
It is called a subscript. For example: In the formula for water (H2O), 2 is the subscript indicating that there are 2 hydrogen atoms in the compound .
The formula weight for O3 is the same as the molecular weight which is taking all the elements, multiplying its mass, and then adding the products. Oxygen's mass is 16 g on the periodic table & there's three of them so: 16x3= 48 g (molecular weight) = This is your Formula weight. Hope that helped.
ZnFl2. The '2' is a subscript though.
there are two atoms in the molecule
there are two atoms in the molecule
Diatomic elements consist of two atoms.The formula of these elements are always written with a subscript 2 in its symbol to indicate its molecular composition.examples: H2,O2.
The chemical formula for the oxygen in the air is O2, where the 2 should be a subscript.

The formula of an oxygen molecule is O2 (2 is a subscript but now WA doesn't permit to write a subscript).15.9994 g/mol is the molecular mass of oxygen. Formula mass is a sum of atomic mass of atoms in the molecule. In O2 there are two oxygen so it will be about 32g/mol
No. Oxygen is an element and contains only oxygen atoms. Its formula is O2 (where the 2 is a subscript).

The chemical formula of dichlorine monoxide is Cl2O - 2 is a subscript.
