Chemistry deal with atoms and compounds made of atoms and while electrons are involved in chemical reactions, they are subatomic and therefore inside every atom and thus do not have a chemical formula.

∙ 6y agoThere is no chemical formula for electrons. However, an extra negative charge is often written as a superscript minus.

What is beryllium's chemical formula?
The chemical formula for Beryllium is Be. A Be atom needs to lose 2 electrons to become stable, so it would have a charge of 2+
What is the chemical formula for electricty?
Electricity is not a chemical and it does not have a chemical formula. Electric current consists of moving electrons; static electricity consists of unmoving electrons.
What is the chemical formula for calcium citrate?
The Chemical Formula for Calcium Citrate is Ca3(C6H5O7)2.
What is the chemical formula of phosphate?
PO43-.This in superscript form, hence, the formula is one phosphorous, 4 oxygens, and 3- valence electrons.
What does the 8 mean in the chemical formula for sulfur?
8 means the number of electrons on the second valence layer.
When forming a compound the chemical formula or compound is made stable with a net charge of zero by changing or adding?
When forming a compound the chemical formula or compound is made stable with a net charge of zero by the sharing of electrons (covalent compounds/molecules) or the transfer of electrons (ionic compounds).
If beryllium lose electrons and forms an ion what would the chemical formula be?
berrylium has two electrons to get rid of to make it an ion (stable) so the the formulla would be be2+ or be++
How many protons electrons and neutrons are in the formula zinc and chlorine?
Zinc chloride has the chemical formula ZnCl2.The total number of protons is 64; the total number of electrons is also 64.The number of neutrons depends on the isotopes of Zn and Cl.
What is the formula for chemical energy?
Energy has no chemical formula as it is not a chemical.
What are the formulas for magnesium oxide and strontium oxide?
The chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO. Magnesium has valency +2 and oxygen has -2. So, magnesium donates two electrons and oxygen gains two electrons to form ionic bond.The chemical formula for strontium oxide is SrO. Strontium has valency +2 and oxygen has -2. So, strontium donates two electrons and oxygen gains two electrons to form ionic bond.
What is the correct chemical formula for sodium sulfate?
Sulfate consists of 1 S, and 4 O and so has a charge of 2-. You can see this directly from the periodic table by checking what group these atoms are in. Sulfur and Oxygen are both in the 6th group, meaning they both have 6 valence electrons. So (6 electrons * 5 atoms) = 30 electrons. If we follow the octet rule (each atom must have 8 valence electrons for a full octet), then we need 2 more electrons. Sodium, Na, is in the 1st group on the periodic table, and therefore has 1 valence electron. So we need 2 sodium atoms, giving us the formula: Na2SO4 That is, 2 Na 1 S 4 O It's important to remember that when atoms 'share' their electrons by bonding, that BOTH atoms 'see' the electrons as theirs, meaning that, for example, although you may have 14 electrons between 2 atoms, as long as there is a single bond between the atoms they will both have full octets. For example: O2 :::O:O::: where : = pair of electrons.
What is the chemical formula for potassium metal?
Since Potassium is a element it does not have any chemical formula. It has a chemical symbol K, which is derived from its Latin name Kallium.
