It use the symbols as alphabetical characters for element names for examples: C for Carbon, Cu for copper (Cuprum in latin)
And in the lower left of the symbol is atomic number, for C it is 6: 6C
in the upper left of the symbol is the mass number, for C it is 12 : 12C
(or with another isotope, 13)
Then the full nomination: 612C (write 6, and 12 one column aligned)
(answer)
My chemistry book states that its a Chemical Formula, "a shorthand representation of the composition of a substance using atomic symbols and numerical subscripts"
In the formula for a compound, you will see atomic symbols representing individual elements, and if needed, you will see subscripts that represent the number of those atoms required for that bonding scenario. Sodium chloride, for example is NaCl. You see the symbol for sodium followed by the symbol for chlorine. No subscripts are needed because sodium and chlorine combine in a 1-1 ratio. However, in aluminum oxide, the formula is Al2O3. Two aluminums are required for every three oxygens. The subscripts reflect that bonding ratio.
Yes, it is the chemical formula of a compound.
mass number over atomic number next to the element symbol
The notation that shows what elements are present in a compound and shows the ratio of these is called the chemical formula
This representation is called chemical formula.

A combination of chemical symbols that show what elements make up a compound and the number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of the compound is a chemical formula.
Its called Chemical formula
Symbols are the short forms to represent elements. Each element will have a unique symbol.
Search in a periodic table the chemical symbols of all chemical elements.
Compounds can be described using element symbols and numbers
A combination of chemical symbols that show what elements make up a compound and the number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of the compound is a chemical formula.
The term is formula : the combination of symbols for elements and ions that make up a compound.
The number of moles in each element
Chemical formulas consist of chemical symbols and numbers. The symbols represent the elements in the compound. The numbers indicate the quantity of atoms of each element in the compound.
a chemical formula
It is a compound, because it contains more than one element. An element is smallest unit that maintains all of its properties. When you combine elements, you get compounds. MgS04 contains the elements Mg (magnesium), S (sulfur) and O (oxygen).
A chemical formula
H Hydrogen O Oxygen 2 the number two
Its called Chemical formula
This combination of symbols is known as a chemical formula.
You can find out the elements in it, and the number of each ions of each element. Example : Na2SO4 (Sodium Sulfate) You can find out from this formula that this compound contains : 2 Sodium ions (Na2) 1 Sulfide ion (S) 4 Oxide ion (O4)
A compound: any formula that contains more than one kind of atomic symbols represents a compound.
