What is made of symbols and subscripts?
Chemical formulas are made of symbols representing elements and subscripts indicating the number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
What is a combination of symbols and numbers that describes a molecule?
A combination of symbols and numbers that describes a molecule is called a chemical formula. It represents the types of atoms present in the molecule and their respective ratios. The symbols represent the chemical elements (e.g., H for hydrogen, O for oxygen) and the numbers indicate the number of atoms of each element in the molecule. Chemical formulas are essential for understanding the composition and structure of molecules in chemistry.
How do you identlfy reactants and products in a chemical reaction?
They are identified by the commonly known symbols for each element as well as a subscript for the number of occurrences of the element in a molecule.
Why is the number placed below an element symbol in a chemical formula is called a subscript?
The number placed below an element symbol in a chemical formula is called a subscript because it indicates the number of atoms of that element in a molecule or compound. The subscript is written slightly below the element symbol to differentiate it from the coefficient, which applies to the whole molecule or compound.
What type of number after a chemical symbols tells how many atoms of that element are in single molecules?
The subscript number after a chemical symbol indicates how many atoms of that element are present in a single molecule of the compound.
What are the numbers in front of the symbols called?
The numbers in front of chemical symbols indicate the number of atoms of each element present in a molecule. These numbers are called subscripts. For example, in H2O, the subscript "2" indicates that there are two hydrogen atoms.
How to read molecules using the symbols from the Periodic Table of Elements?
Molecules are most effectively read using structural formulas made up from symbols from the Periodic Table of Elements. These structural formulas list the atoms present in a molecule in the order that they appear in a molecule. An example is methanol, or H3COH.
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 little number off to the bottom right of an element called?
Are you talking about the number below the symbol? If so, that's the atomic mass number.
The number placed below an elements symbol in a chemical formula is called a what?
The number placed below an element's symbol in a chemical formula is called a subscript. Subscripts indicate the number of atoms of that element in a molecule.
A number that is lower and smaller than the letter symbols in a chemical formula that shows how how atoms of a substance are in a molecule is called?
coefficent
Is two atoms with same number of protons a molecule or element?
Molecule
