Each chemical element has a specific chemical symbol; see the link below for the list of chemical elements with symbols.
Compounds are made by elements bonding together. They are represented by the chemical formula. The chemical formula shows the elements and their ratios in the compound.
All chemical compounds will have a chemical formula. For instance, the calcium chloride has formula CaCl2. Elements, on the other hand, have chemical symbols. Chemical reactions can be represented by chemical equations.
The chemical symbol for iodine is I. So for compounds like silver iodide, we denote them as AgI. Abbreviations make it easy for us to represent and identify elements in chemical formula and equations.

Asphalt is a mixture and so it has neither a chemical symbol (which are only for elements), nor a chemical formula(which are for compounds).
Elements identify what is in the formula. Everything starts as an element, wiether its 1 or 10.

There is no chemical formula for an acorn. An acorn is a heterogeneous mixture. Chemical formulas are only used for pure substances, that is compounds and elements.
The symbols and formulas are used to recognize chemical elements and chemical compounds.
Aluminum in itself does not have a chemical formula, because chemical formulas are only used for compounds, and Aluminum does not have a chemical formula - only a symbol (which can be found on the periodic table of elements).

Chemical formulas are used to represent chemical compounds. It shows the component elements of the compound. Also it shows the ratios of the component elements.

Chemical formulas are a shorthand way to represent chemical compounds. For example, CO2 is quicker to write than carbon dioxide.
