How does the chemical formula of a compound relate to the relative number of atoms in the compound?
Chemical formulas consist of chemical symbols and numbers. The symbols represent the elements in the compound. The numbers indicate the quantity of atoms of each element in the compound.
How do you calculate how high something goes?
Depends what numbers you have already -- there are many different formulas.
Why do scientists use Kelvin to measure temperature?
Because there are no negative numbers Many thermodynamic equations need absolute numbers. At 0 degrees Kelvin, molecules stop. It is absolute 0--it doesn't get colder. There is a direct correlation between Kelvin and Celsius. For Fahrenheit, the absolute scale is called Rankine.
What are Dalton points in the atomic theory?
daltons atomic postulations stated that: * Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are identical. * The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative weights. * Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms. * Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; a chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together.
How can there be so many different kinds of substances in the world?
There are so many different atoms or atoms with different numbers of protons which makes different elements or different substances. Everything is chemical and made up of chemical reactions. And the chemicals are all made up of atoms. Atoms combine to form elements, and elements combine to make up compounds and mixtures. For example, water. Hydrogen, an element itself, combines itself to another chemicals, which is Oxygen, to make a compound. Which gives you the result with water. Everything in the world is made up of chemical reactions. Some come naturally and most are made with mixtures and compounds. As you may know, there are tons of individual elements and when they are combine into bigger compounds they turn into substances like liquid, gas, or solid. It's all part of chemical reactions.

Why is it impossible to have a chemical formula with a fraction in it?
Because the number of atoms in a chemical compound is an integer, it is not fractional; but sometimes fractional numbers are also used in chemical formulas.
Do superscript numbers in chemical formulas tell how many atoms of each element are found in a unit of compound?
No. The function described in the question is performed by subscript, not superscript, numbers.
What is ionic?
Ionic equations are a special type of chemical equations that demonstrate the changes in oxidation numbers in particular ions.
What do you call a group of symbols and numbers that stands for a compound?
Chemical compound
What is used to represent chemical substances such as compounds?
Not all chemical formulas represent a compound. Chemical formulas that contain two or more elements represent a compound. Chemical formulas can also represent diatomic molecules, such as H2 or O2. Sulfur is represented by the formula S8.
What does show a chemical formula?
The ratio and types of elements in the compound.
