What does it mean if a chemical symbol in a chemical formula has no subscript?
There is one atom of that element in the molecule.
What does a super subscript mean in a chemical formula?
i believe it represents the overall charge after the atom becomes an ion
What does a numerical subscript following an element symbol in a formula mean?
The subscript in a chemical formula represents the amount of that atom in that compound's formula.
What does subscript mean in a formula?
It means that there is more than one atom of the same kind in the molecule.Example: sulfuric acid - H2SO4; 2 atoms of hydrogen, 4 atoms of oxygen.
What does the four in the chemical formula CH4 mean?
The four means that there are four atoms of hydrogen bonded to the carbon atom, and that compound is methane.
What does it mean if an atom has subscript in a chemical formula?
There is one atom of that element in the molecule.
What does it mean if a chemical symbol in a chemical formula has no subscript?
There is one atom of that element in the molecule.
What does it mean when an element in a chemical formula does not have a subscript?
The meaning is that only one atom of this element exist in the molecule. Example: sodium chloride - NaCl.
Does the 2 mean How many hydrogen atoms are in a molecule of water?
Yes. In the chemical formula H2O, the subscript 2 after the hydrogen means there are two hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water. The absence of a subscript after the oxygen means the subscript is understood to be 1, so there is one atom of oxygen in a water molecule.
What does the subscript mean in the chemical formula?
usually a subscript denotes the number of atoms of a particular element within the formula. ie H2O (the 2 would be a subscript) indicates there are two atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of water.
What does a super subscript mean in a chemical formula?
i believe it represents the overall charge after the atom becomes an ion
What does it mean when a chemical formula does not include any numbers?
It means that you have one atom of each element in the formula
What does subscript mean in formula?
It means that there is more than one atom of the same kind in the molecule.Example: sulfuric acid - H2SO4; 2 atoms of hydrogen, 4 atoms of oxygen.
What does it mean a compounds chemical formula does not include any numbers?
there is only one atom of each element
What does a numerical subscript following an element symbol in a formula mean?
The subscript in a chemical formula represents the amount of that atom in that compound's formula.
What does in mean when a compounds chemical formula does not include any numbers?
This molecule contain only one atom from each component.
What does subscript mean in a formula?
It means that there is more than one atom of the same kind in the molecule.Example: sulfuric acid - H2SO4; 2 atoms of hydrogen, 4 atoms of oxygen.
