It means that there is a certain group of atoms in it, usually an ion, that there is more than one of.
For example, in Ca(NO3)2 , calcium nitrate, there are two nitrate, or NO3-, ions in each formula unit.
Writing CaNO32 would be wrong because it would look like there were 32 oxygen atoms.
Parentheses are used in ionic compound formulas when multiple polyatomic ions are present. The parentheses are used to indicate a subscript that applies to all the elements inside the parentheses. For example, in the formula for calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2), the parentheses indicate that the nitrate ion (NO3) has a subscript of 2.
Parentheses are used in the formula of an ionic compound when there is more than one polyatomic ion in the formula. They help indicate the correct ratio of ions in the compound. For example, in calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2), parentheses are used to show that there are two nitrate ions for every one calcium ion.
Francium sulfide is the compound that contains francium and sulfur.
"Pentahydrate" means that a compound contains five molecules of water in its crystal structure. It indicates that the compound has been hydrated or combined with water molecules.
An organic compound is a type of chemical compound that contains carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. These compounds are commonly found in living organisms and are essential for life processes.
Parentheses are used in ionic compound formulas when multiple polyatomic ions are present. The parentheses are used to indicate a subscript that applies to all the elements inside the parentheses. For example, in the formula for calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2), the parentheses indicate that the nitrate ion (NO3) has a subscript of 2.
When the compound contains an ion with more than one atom in each ion, and the number of such units in a formula unit of the ionic compound is at least 2, parentheses are needed in the formula of the compound. In more conventional naming, parentheses containing a Roman number are often used after the name of a cation to denote its oxidation state, particular for atoms that form more than one stable cation.

"Ternary" means that the compound contains three elements.
I think you mean parentheses. Parentheses are ().
Function.
Parentheses are brackets which are rounded kind. Like the one below: ( ..... )
A compound that contains a carbon is called a base.
Anything within parentheses should be calculated first.
Francium sulfide is the compound that contains francium and sulfur.
To balance a chemical equation with parentheses, treat the entire compound within the parentheses as a single entity. Balance the elements inside the parentheses first before balancing the rest of the equation. Remember to distribute the coefficients outside the parentheses to all elements within it.
"Pentahydrate" means that a compound contains five molecules of water in its crystal structure. It indicates that the compound has been hydrated or combined with water molecules.
