What is a set of symbols that tells how many of each type of atoms are found in a molecule?
This is a chemical formula.
What else can I help you with?
What does C3H8 tell about a molecule of propane?
The formula tells how many atoms of which elements are found in a molecule of propane. It indicates that there are 3 atoms of carbon and 8 atoms of hydrogen in a molecule of propane.
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 type of number after a chemical symbol tells how many atoms are in a single molecule?
The subscript, the little number below and after the element, tells how many atoms are in a single molecule.
What tells the atoms of an element contained in one molecule of a substances?
These atoms decide the chemical composition of the substance.
What does the subscript number stand for?
The number in the subscript of a chemical formula tells the number of that atom in a molecule. For example, in H2O, the 2 tells you there are 2 hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. in C3H8, there are 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms as reflected by the 3 and 8 in the formula respectively.
Tells how many atoms of an elements are contained in one molecule of a substances?
10
Why is the atomic number mportant?
It tells how many atoms are in one molecule normally.
How many atoms of carbon are in just one molecule of C8 H10 N4 02?
The subscript 8 tells you that there are 8 atoms of carbon in one molecule.
What tells how many of each type of atom are found in an actual molecule of that substance?
This is the subscripted number of each atom in the chemical formula.Example: sodium carbonate - Na2CO3.The molecule contain 2 sodium atoms, 1 carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms.
Where are subscripts found and what do they tell you?
A subscript is a number that is written half a space below the line and which looks like this: H2O (this compares to a superscript which is written half a space above the line, looking like this: 1012). In a chemical formula, the subscript tells you the number of atoms of a particular element in a molecule. For the example that I gave, which is the very familiar formula of the water molecule, the subscript tells us that there are two hydrogen atoms in the molecule (H is for hydrogen).
Why do you use chemical symbols when writing the names of compounds?
The letters are the symbols of elements and ions that are contained in the compound. For example H2O tells us that the molecule (water) contains two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. The compound water can be broken down into its separate elements in several ways.
How many hydrogen atoms atoms are present in each water molecule?
There are 2 hydrogen atoms present in each water molecule. This can be seen from the formula for water H2O -- this tells us there are 2 atoms of hydrogen combined with 1 atom of oxygen
