What are used to indicate how many atoms are in a compound?
Subscripted numbers are listed after each element to indicate the number of atoms of that element in the compound. For instance the formula for water is H2O, which indicated that there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom (no subscript implies the number 1).
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.
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.
Why doesnt oxygen have a subscript in the formula H2O?
The formula H2O indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen for every atom of oxygen in a molecule of water. You could write it H2O1 but that would be redundant.
How many oxygen atoms are in aluminum chromate?
The formula for aluminum chromate is Al2(CrO4)3, so there are 12 oxygen atoms. Multiply the number of oxygen atoms inside the parentheses times the subscript outside the parentheses.
What is the purpose of a subscript in a chemical equation?
the purpose of a subscript is to tell how many atoms of that chemical is used in the formulaThe number of atoms of the same element in the molecule ~APEX
In CF4 what does the subscript 4 mean?
The subscript 4 indicates the number of that type of atoms in the compound. In this case, there are four Fluorine atoms in this molecular compound.
What does the subscript mean in the chemical formula?
usually a subscript denotes the number of atoms of a particular element within the formula. ie H2O (the 2 would be a subscript) indicates there are two atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of water.
What does the subscript 2 indicate int he compuonds mgcl2?
In chemical compounds, subscripts indicate how many of that element are present in the compound, compared to the rest of the compound.In MgCl2, the subscript indicates that there are two chlorine atoms for every atom of magnesium.
What part of the chemical formula indicates the number of molecules or atoms involved?
The answer is 'subscript'
What tells how many and atoms form a compound?
a subscript found at the bottom right of the letters in the compound. if there is no number, that indicates there is only one of that element, or atom.
How is the number of atoms of a specific element in a compound denoted by?
The subscript to the left of the element symbol (unless it doesn't have a subscript; then the number of of atoms in the element is 1)
The subscript in a chemical formula refers to the?
The subscript in a chemical formula refers to the _____.
Small number after a symbol?
The subscript is the number of atoms in a molecule.
What number will be subscript for element b?
The subscript is the number of atoms.Example: U3O8Uranium octoxide has 3 uranium atoms and 8 oxygen atoms.
Why you write 2 under O?
In chemical terminology the "2" is a subscript and indicates the number of atoms in the molecule, in this case the "O" is the chemical sybol for oxygen. Therefore there are two oxygen atoms in this molecule.
Where does the subscript that indicates the number of atoms relative to a chemical symbol located?
Immediately after the chemical symbol and with its base lower than the base of the chemical symbol itself.
