What is the chemical combination of symbols that represents a compound?

∙ 9y ago
Each element is given a symbol (a letter or a pair of letters where the first one is always a capitol letter and the second one is always a small letter). For instance the letter for Hydrogen is an 'H' and for Oxygen is an 'O'.
When describing the formula for a chemical compound you use these symbols to say what elements it is made of and you follow each element with a number if there is more than one atom of that element in the compound.
For instance water is made of one atom of Oxygen and two atoms of Hydrogen and therefore its chemical formula is: H2O
