-The elements involved.
-The specific number of each element in the molecule.
Strictly speaking, you do not need to know the arrangement of the elements in the molecule...but writing the arrangement is often the best thing to do.
Like CH3CH2CH3 could be written C3H8 and still be correct. However it's a little less clear.
I would advise, as general practice, to always write the chemical formula out in full, then abbreviate it after much confidence is gained. Otherwise you are just asking for a lot of confusion.

In other words, it would be nice of the equal sign created a true statement. And by "nice", I mean required. Otherwise the false statement is just nonsense.

Chemical equations must be?
balanced.
What are the characteristics of chemical equations?
All chemical reactions have a common structure. It must have reactants, that are the substances that you have at the beginning, and the product that are the new substances you get at the end.
What des a chemical equation stand for?
chemical equations are used to find out how chemical compounds will react with each other since the equations must be balanced. unless you are talking about the chemical name for substances such as sodium chloride is NaCl. water is H2O etc.
Why is it essential to use balanced chemical equations when determining the quantity of a product fo?
It should represent a true chemical change. It should be balance it should be molecular all the reactant and product must be written in term of there respective chemical formula.
What chemical equations violates the law of conservation of energy?
Any chemical equations violates the law of conservation of energy.
Chemical equations must be?
balanced.
Is chemical equations required to be balanced?
Yes, chemical equations must be balanced due to the law of conservation of matter/mass.
Chemical equations must be balanced because of the?
little boys
What are the characteristics of chemical equations?

Why named chemical equations are so difficult?
Not all chemical reactions are difficult.
What is the chemical equations of honey?
Honey hasn't chemical equations.
What can chemical equations tell you about a chemical reactions?
Chemical equations describe the products and reactants in a chemical reaction.
What des a chemical equation stand for?

It should represent a true chemical change. It should be balance it should be molecular all the reactant and product must be written in term of there respective chemical formula.
What are state symbols in chemical equation?
All of the symbols used in chemical equations are up on the Periodic Table.
What is the formula for chemical equations is balanced?
The number of reactants atoms must be equal to the number of products atoms.
Why must chemical equations must be balanced?
chemical equations must be balanced according to the law of conservation of mass: mass cannot be created or destroyed. In other words: it's impossible to have an unbalanced equation that is correct, so do what your teacher tells you to.
