What is the term for number that appear in the chemical formulas of some compounds?

subscripts


Can an equation can be balanced by placing the appropiate number called a subscript in front of the chemical symbols or formulas?

Balancing an equation is simply a matter of ensuring that the number of atoms of each specific element that you start with (reactants) are the same as the number that you wind up with (products) in the new arrangements or compounds that they form. And a subscript is the number written halfway below the line, to show how many atoms are in a given molecule; it does not appear (contrary to your assertion) in front of chemical symbols or formulas.


What indicates the relative numbers of reactants and products in a chemical reaction?

The number of initial chemical compounds (reactants) and the number of final compounds resulted from the reaction (products).


How can scientists identify the composition of a compound?

1. Chemical formulas are established after repeated and serious chemical analysis of chemical compounds.2. And, if you want, searching the formula in a catalog - if you know the name of this compound or the CAS number.


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

Chemical formulas represent the number and element of each type of atom in a molecule.


Is there 105 different chemical compounds?

What are all chemical formulas called?

All chemical formulas are called chemical notations. They represent the elements and the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

How are prefixes in names of compounds like subscripts in formulas?

Prefixes in compound names are used to indicate the number of each element present, similar to how subscripts in chemical formulas specify the quantity of each element in a molecule. Both prefixes and subscripts help provide important information about the composition of compounds in a clear and concise manner.


How are chemical formulas written do they use superscripts or subscripts?

Chemical formulas are written with the chemical symbol of each element followed by a subscript. If no subscript is written, it is understood to be 1. In a molecular formula, the subscripts indicate the number of atoms of each element that are present in one molecule. In a chemical formula for an ionic compound, the subscripts represent the lowest whole number ratio of ions in the compound.
