Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in?

a molecule or compound. Each element is represented by its chemical symbol (e.g. H for hydrogen), and the number of atoms of each element is denoted by a subscript following the symbol (e.g. H2O for water).


The mass of each type of element in a compound compared to the ovrall mass in the compound is referred to as the?

The mass of each type of element in a compound compared to the overall mass of the compound is referred to as the mass percentage or mass percent composition. It is calculated by dividing the mass of each element by the total mass of the compound and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.


A chemical formula tells what make up a and the exact of atoms of each element in a unit of compound?

Yes, a chemical formula represents the types of atoms and the number of each type of atom in a single unit of a compound. It provides the ratio of different elements present in the compound. The formula also helps in determining the properties and behavior of the compound.


What determines the number of different atoms of each type in a binary ionic compound?

The number of different atoms in a binary ionic compound is determined by the chemical formula of the compound. The chemical formula shows the ratio of cations to anions in the compound, which dictates the number of different atoms present. Each element contributes a specific number of atoms based on its charge in the compound.


What are the steps for calculating molar mass of compound?

molar mass is the atomic mass of the element. it's on the Periodic Table. you just have to add them up. unless you want to calculate the number of moles in a compound, in that case: moles = mass/molar mass

What is the number of atoms of each element contained in a covalent compound?

The number of atoms of each element in a covalent compound is determined by the compound's molecular formula, which indicates the types and quantities of atoms present. For example, in water (H₂O), there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The subscripts in the formula denote the number of each type of atom, and if no subscript is present, it implies one atom of that element.


Do subscripts represent the relative mass of each type of atom in the compound?

No, subscripts in a chemical formula represent the number of atoms of each element in the compound. The relative mass of each atom is accounted for by the atomic mass of the element found in the periodic table. So, atomic mass, not subscripts, gives you the relative mass of each type of atom in a compound.

Do the Empirical formula relates the mass of each element in a compound to the entire mass of the compound?

An empirical formula gives this information indirectly by specifying the ratios of numbers of atoms of each element in a compound to the total number of atoms in a compound. These ratios can then be mathematically converted into the mass ratios specified in the question by using the known atomic weights of each element present: The mass ratio of element "Q" to element "R" is equal to the number ratio multiplied by the ratio of the atomic weight of element Q to that of element R. For example, the number ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water is 2, but the mass ratio is 2(1.008/15.999) = 0.1260.

The elements that make up a compound and the exact number of atoms of each element in a unit of the compound can be?

determined using the chemical formula of the compound. The chemical formula provides the type and ratio of elements present in a compound. After determining the chemical formula, one can calculate the exact number of atoms of each element in a unit of the compound using stoichiometry.

What is the meaning of the element and compound?

An element is a substance that consists of atoms that are all of the same type, meaning that they all have the same number of protons in their nuclei. A compound is a substance consisting of molecules, each consisting of the same atoms connected in the same way.


What a compound formula tells about compound'?

It tells what elements are in a compound and the number of each type of atom in each molecule/formula unit.
