yes
The 555 is a timer, not a counter.
NEW
The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit ,that is used mainly in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. It can be used to provide time delays.
It's a prefix of the IC products of 'Linear Monolithic' category of National semiconductors.
8-pin 555 timer IC
The 555 IC timer does not have a clock.
555 is an arbitrarily assigned part number for a general purpose programmable timer IC. The number itself has no special meaning.
556 is a dual version of 555 single timer.
The 555 is a timer, not a counter.
We use the IC1 555 in LPG gas detector to detect the leaking gases.
555 timer is used to generate clock signals in the ic 555 timer the pin no 8 is represents vcc
just conect gnd to the vcc

no
The 555 IC is a universal timer circuit. Via the addition of external components (resistors, capacitors) the designer can generate various timing waveforms.
YES
its cheap and easy to use.
