The number of atoms of each element present in a molecule is indicated by the subscript to the right of the element symbol in the chemical formula. For example, in H2O, there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
This is specified by the subscripted number directly next right-down to the atom's symbol.Example: Sulfuric acid: H2SO4 has 2 atoms of Hydrogen, 1 atom of Sulfur and 4 atoms of Oxygen per molecule H2SO4
The type and the number of atoms of each element present.
same number of each element
No, H1.9O1.9 is not a valid chemical formula as it implies fractional atoms which is not possible in formula representation. A chemical formula should represent whole numbers of atoms for each element.
There are a total of 16 atoms in the formula 2Na2SO4. This includes 4 Na atoms, 2 S atoms, and 8 O atoms.
You probable think to sodium sulfate, Na2SO4. Na2SO4 has: 7 atoms total - 2 sodium, 1 sulfur and 4 oxygen. 2Na2SO4 (two molecules) have 14 atoms.
The chemical formula shows you this. The subscripted number next to each element shows how many atoms are present in a molecule or formula unit. If no number is shown, then only one atom of that element is present.
You can determine the number of atoms of each element in a compound by using the chemical formula of the compound. The subscripts in the formula indicate the number of atoms of each element. For example, in H2O (water), there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
There are 6 hydrogen atoms, 3 phosphorus atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms in the formula H3PO4.

The number of atoms of that element in the molecule
It is important to know the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound for the chemical composition.
The number of atoms of each element present in a molecule is indicated by the subscript to the right of the element symbol in the chemical formula. For example, in H2O, there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
To determine the total number of elements in a chemical formula, you count the atoms of each element present in the formula. Each element is represented by its chemical symbol (e.g., H for hydrogen, O for oxygen). The sum of the atoms of each element gives you the total number of elements in the chemical formula.
The chemical formula shows you this. The subscripted number next to each element shows how many atoms are present in a molecule or formula unit. If no number is shown, then only one atom of that element is present.
Hydrogen - 8 Oxygen - 4 Carbon - 9 So, shorthand formula is C9H8O4 = aspirin
