As a matter of fact, no. Formula is not a way of writing an element. An element is written as it's abbreviation, like "k" for potassium. A formula describes different combinations of elements to create a new substance. Some examples are H2O for water, CO2 for carbon dioxide, and C15H31CO2C30H61 for beeswax, to name a few.
