The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons contained in the atomic nucleus.
The number of protons in the nucleus of an element gives that element its ATOMIC NUMBER.
Element
It is important to know the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound for the chemical composition.
Cobalt is an element, and is a transition metal with atomic number 27.
Formula unit
it tells you the number of atoms of each element
1. The molecular mass of a compound is the sum oh the atomic weights of the elements contained in the molecule of this compound. 2. The atomic number of an element is the number of this element in the Periodic Table of Mendeleev; the atomic number is equal to number of protons and electrons.

The number of protons in the nucleus of an element gives that element its ATOMIC NUMBER.
Element
It can make maximum 2 covalent bonds as element of atomic number 7 has 5 valence electrons while element having 16 atomic number have 6 valence electrons.
Prefixes in a name generally indicate the number of atoms of a certain element in a compound. For example, carbon dioxide has two atoms of oxygen and one atom of carbon.
That depends on the compound.

That depends on whether it is an ionic or covalent compound. If ionic, the first element has the same name as the element or ion, e.g. NaCl is sodium chloride; NH4Cl is ammonium chloride. If the compound is covalent, then the first element either retains its original name or has a prefix to denote the number of atoms of that element. For example, CO2 is carbon dioxide; P2O5 is di phosphorous pentoxide.
They show the number of atoms that element has in that compound.
