The number of atoms is indicated by prefixes as mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa, etc.
Examples: uranium hexafluoride - UF6, triuranium octaoxide - U3O8.

How do you determine the gram mass of an element in a molecule if you know the gram mass for the molecule and its molecular weight?

To determine the gram mass of an element in a molecule, you first need to know the molecular formula of the molecule, which indicates the number of each type of atom present. Calculate the molar mass of the entire molecule based on the atomic weights of its constituent elements. Then, find the molar mass contribution of the specific element by multiplying its atomic weight by the number of atoms of that element in the formula. Finally, use the ratio of the element's molar mass to the total molar mass of the molecule and multiply by the total gram mass of the molecule to find the gram mass of the element.

Oxygen can be described as a molecular element Sucrose can be described as a molecular compound Explain why these descriptions are appropriate?

Since Oxygen exists in combined state in nature, it is termed as a molecular element and Sucrose is a molecule of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen with no charge on it, hence it is considered a molecular compound.


The number of atoms of each element present in the molecule is indicated by what?

The number of atoms of each element present in a molecule is indicated by the subscript to the right of the element symbol in the chemical formula. For example, in H2O, there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.


Is F an example of a molecule?

Fluorine is an element, the symbol F would indicate its atomic form not a molecule, the symbol F2 would indicate its diatomic molecular form. Fluorine gas is the F2 diatomic molecular form not F.


Is molecular formula a element?

Technically no, molecular formula tells you how many atoms of each element compose a molecule. For example O: oxygen C: Carbon H: hydrogen Carbon dioxides molecular formula is CO2 Atmospheric oxygen is O2 Glucose's molecular formula is C6H12O6
