The symbols and formulas are used to recognize chemical elements and chemical compounds.
The chemical formula of water is H2O.
Potassium is an element--the purest form of any substance. Technically the formula is just K as that is the elemental symbol. There are innumerable different compounds that include potassium in their formula.
A symbol usually only has one or two letters in it and a formula usually has a group/combination of symbols
The chemical formula (not balanced symbol equation) of copper (II) cabonate is CuCO3.
The chemical formula (equation is an incorrect word) is C12H22CaO14.
So it is wrong equation .Symbols are very important
The chemical symbol of indium is In.
The symbol (s) indicates a solid state in a chemical equation.
The Chemical symbol for Disodium phosphate is: Na2 (Sodium) H (Hydrogen) P (Phosphorus) O4 (Oxygen)
The chemical symbol (not formula) of phosphorous is P; the chemical symbol (not formula) of chlorine is Cl.
A reactant is something that reacts with another thing(s) in a word equation to make something else (the things made are the 'products'). So an example is:CARBON + OXYGEN -> CARBON DIOXIDE + WATERCarbon and oxygen are the reactants and carbon dioxide and water are the products.This word equation as a symbol equation is:C + O2 -> CO2 + H20
A coefficient is the number that goes before an element when your balancing the equation. And a subscript is the number after the element. Subscripts are not changed when you balance the equation.
