What are the scientific symbols for salt?
This depends upon the salt. Common table salt is NaCl or Sodium Chloride. The molecule has an ionic bond; the sodium forms a positive ion and the chlorine forms a negative ion.
A chemical formula includes the symbols of the elements in the compound and subscripts that indicate what?
The number of moles in each element
Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
It is a matter of how full an atom's outer or valence shell of electrons is. For most atoms, the most stable setup is one with a full shell of 8 valence electrons, and an atom will gain or lose electrons to achieve this. For atoms with close to 8 valence electrons, such a chlorine (7 valence electrons, it is generally easier to gain electrons and thus become negatively charged. For atoms with few valence electrons, such as sodium (1 valence electron), it is easier to lose electrons and go down to the next lowest shell, which is already full.
What are the symbols that you can see in a laboratory?
Some of the symbols that can be seen in the laboratory includes the fire symbol, the chemical symbols. Other symbols include the fire exit and the highly inflammatory symbols.

What are the symbols for positive and negative in welding machines?

Why are the absolute value symbols used when indicating the length of a line segment?
Because line segment lengths are often calculated as a square root, the absolute value symbols indicate it is only the positive solution that counts, as a distance cannot be negative.
What is meant by absolute measure?
It is the value without considering the symbols. ie, the negative or positive symbols of the value
Symbols used in algebra?
+ and - are used to subtract and add, also to indicate if positive or negative. When the integer is positive you don't have to place a sign. When the _x wherein _ is equal to 1, you also don't have to place 1 beside x. That's stupidity.
What does the positive and negative symbols represent in energy source?
Relative charge. (And/or relative voltage.)
What do chemical symbols indicate?
Chemical symbols indicate elements.
What is one Renaissance achievement in mathematics?
The creation of new math symbols. [for example: they created the symbols for the square root and for positive(+) and negative(-) numbers.
When you subtract a negative by a positive what does it make?
If you mean when you subtract a negative from a positive what does it make? If so, you will get a positive answer. This is because the two negative symbols are basically multiplied, and if you multiply two negatives you get a positive, so a positive number minus a negative number becomes a positive number plus a positive number. 6 - (-5) = 11 2 - (-10) = 12 125 - (-15) = 140
How do you multiply a negative times a negative?
If the two numbers you are multiplying are both negatives, the answer will be a positive,(two negatives make a positive).If you multiply a negative and a positive the result willbe a negative,(different symbols will result in negative.============================So, if I can squeeze in here for a second and actually answer the question . . .To multiply a negative number by another negative number, throw away bothnegative signs, and proceed just as if both numbers were positive.
What are the characters that a number can contain?
A number itself can only contain the 10 digits and a decimal point and a minus sign to indicate if it is negative or a plus sign for positive, though it is usually not shown. After that there are formatting symbols like a £ or a $ but they are not part of the number itself as such.
