carbon dond
This is a structural model.
If you know your Classics (Latin), the name gives the clue . 'Tetra' means four(4). So carbon tetrachloride is has four chlorine atoms. Its modern IUPAC name is 'Tetrachlormethane'. It has the formula 'CCl4'.
The subscript 2 shows the number of oxygen atoms in each molecule of the compound, carbon dioxide.
The Chemical Formula for Potassium Acetate is CH3CO2K which shows that it has 4 types of atoms in it: 2 Carbon, 3 Hydrogen, 2 Oxygen, and 1 Potassium.

Ball-and-Stick Model
The molecular formula of ethanol is C2H4O. This shows that each molecule of ethanol contains two carbon atoms.
They are called food chains.
A chemical formula shows the elements in the compound and the ratio of atoms. For example, the chemicals formula for carbon dioxide is CO2 . In the carbon dioxide, there are always two oxygen atoms to every one carbon atom.
If you know your Classics (Latin), the name gives the clue . 'Tetra' means four(4). So carbon tetrachloride is has four chlorine atoms. Its modern IUPAC name is 'Tetrachlormethane'. It has the formula 'CCl4'.
Yes, two atoms per molecule in fact. The name, dioxide, indicates that there are oxygen atoms (hence the "oxide"). The formula, CO2, shows two oxygen atoms (O2)
The subscript 2 shows the number of oxygen atoms in each molecule of the compound, carbon dioxide.
The empiracle formula shows the ratio of the individual elements in a compound, and the molecular formula shows the actual number of each elemental atom in each molecule (which will be equal to the empiracle formula or a whole number multiple of it). However, it is the structural formula that shows how the individual atoms are connected.
The Chemical Formula for Potassium Acetate is CH3CO2K which shows that it has 4 types of atoms in it: 2 Carbon, 3 Hydrogen, 2 Oxygen, and 1 Potassium.
Pure diesel does not contain any sulfur atoms. The molecular statement for Diesel is C12H23, which means each molecule of diesel contains 12 Carbon atoms and 23 Hydrogen atoms. Sulfur shows up in diesel because it is in the crude oil originally and the cost of refining out all the sulfur from the diesel is very expensive.
