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.
