4
What is the number of atoms in ZnI2?
Three: Count the subscripts and add them to get the answer. (A subscript of 1 is implied by the atomic symbol itself.
The number of atoms of each element present in the molecule is indicated by what?
A subscript number after each atomic symbol in a formula for the compound.
