The atomic complexity of proteins quickly bogs down the chemical naming process called 'Nomenclature'.
Another has provided this example:
(C44189h71252n12428o14007s321).
This situation is overcome by the use of names, or Language. For example, every time the name of a biochemical contains the suffix -ase, this denotes that this moiety is an enzyme.
The chemical symbol of a molecule represents the individual elements present in the compound, while the chemical formula shows the ratio of each element in the compound. The formula is essentially a written expression of the molecule's composition and structure, making it equivalent to the symbol in chemical representation.
The chemical symbol of phosphorus is P.
The chemical symbol for oxygen is O, but it is frequently written as O2. This is because when oxygen is not chemically combined with anything else, it bonds to another oxygen atom, making an oxygen molecule. Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, and that's how we encounter it in air.
Sulfur is an element, not a molecule or compound. It is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16.
The subscript, the little number below and after the element, tells how many atoms are in a single molecule.
The molecular formula (not the chemical symbol) for ammonia is NH3.
The chemical symbol for a chlorine molecule is Cl₂, indicating that it consists of two chlorine atoms bonded together. Chlorine is a diatomic molecule, meaning it naturally exists as pairs of atoms in its elemental form. Each chlorine atom has the chemical symbol Cl.
O2 is the chemical formula for the diatomic molecule of oxygen.
The chemical symbol of a molecule represents the individual elements present in the compound, while the chemical formula shows the ratio of each element in the compound. The formula is essentially a written expression of the molecule's composition and structure, making it equivalent to the symbol in chemical representation.
The chemical symbol (not equation) of hydrogen is H; the diatomic molecule is H2.
Fullerenes are a class of compounds.
The chemical symbol of phosphorus is P.
The chemical symbol (not formula) of fluorine atom is F; the molecule is F2.
The chemical symbol for oxygen is O, but it is frequently written as O2. This is because when oxygen is not chemically combined with anything else, it bonds to another oxygen atom, making an oxygen molecule. Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, and that's how we encounter it in air.
Sodium is a chemical element not a molecule; the symbol is Na.
Sulfur is an element, not a molecule or compound. It is a chemical element with the symbol S and atomic number 16.
The subscript, the little number below and after the element, tells how many atoms are in a single molecule.
