What is the subscript of oxygen dichloride?
The chemical formula of dichlorine monoxide is Cl2O - 2 is a subscript.
What do you do if there is only one atom of an element in a formula?
You do not write a subscript because it is understood to be one. For example, the formula for water, H2O, indicates that there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a molecule of water. There is no subscript written next to the oxygen atom because it is understood to be one.
How many atoms does an element have if it does not have a subscript?
No subscript suggests one atom, for example carbon monoxide - CO - each molecule contains one atom of carbon and one atom of oxygen. As opposed to carbon dioxide - CO2 - in which each molecule has one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
Why doesnt oxygen have a subscript in the formula H2O?
Oxygen does not have a subscript in the formula H2O because it forms a covalent bond with hydrogen atoms to create a stable molecule. The subscript 2 in H2O indicates that there are two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom, making the molecule water.
What is a compound that has sodium oxygen and hydrogen?
Sodium oxide is a compound, two sodium atoms for each oxygen atom, or Na2O (if I could do the subscript).
What is the number 2 in the formula for hydrogen called?
H2O The little 2 is a subscript that tells you that there are 2 Hydrogen atoms in the compound. There is no 1 after the Oxygen because if there is no subscript, there is an understood 1 atom in the compound.
Can you give a sentence for the word subscript?
The subscript in the molecular formula of water, H2O, says that there are two atoms of hydrogen for every one atom of oxygen.
What does a subscript tell us in a binary nonmetal compound?
In a binary nonmetal compound, a subscript tells us the ratio of atoms present in the compound. Each subscript represents the number of atoms of that element in the compound. For example, in CO2, the subscript 2 indicates that there are two oxygen atoms for each carbon atom.
Does the 2 mean How many hydrogen atoms are in a molecule of water?
Yes. In the chemical formula H2O, the subscript 2 after the hydrogen means there are two hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. The absence of a subscript after the oxygen means the subscript is understood to be 1, so there is one atom of oxygen in a water molecule.
How many atoms are there in one molecule of hp304?
8. There is 1 hydrogen atom, 3 phosphorus atoms (as indicated by the subscript 3), and 4 oxygen atoms (as indicated by the subscript 4).
What do a subscript in a chemical tell you?
The subscript to the right of an element tells you how many atoms of that particular element are in a molecule. For example, in the water molecule H2O, there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
Who many atoms in one molecule of CO?
The molecule of carbon monoxide has two atoms.
