Molecules are like words. They are like words because people use words to form sentences and molecules are used to form matter. They are both used to form something else.

What do these numbers and letters mean 6C6H12O6 chemistry?

The letters represents the atom (or element) in the compound. In this case, there are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in this compound. The numbers behind the letters represents the number of each atoms in the compound. For the example, there are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms in the compound. based on this, we can tell that the compound here is glucose (C6H12O6) since all compounds and elements have different chemical formula (also all those numbers and letters). The number in front of the first letter represents the number of such molecules/compounds. Since it is given as 6C6H12O6, we can deduce that there are 6 glucose molecules in it.
