You would look at the chemical formula. The subscripts tell you how many atoms of an element are in one molecule or formula unit.
Examples:
H2O has 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.
C6H12O6 has 6 atoms of carbon, 12atoms of hydrogen, and 6 atoms of oxygen.
Yes. Three different atoms by element, but the count is...... 6 carbon atoms. 12 hydrogen atoms. 6 oxygen atoms. The compound is glucose.
In the compound FeCl₃ (iron(III) chloride), there are a total of four atoms: one iron (Fe) atom and three chlorine (Cl) atoms. Therefore, the total count of atoms in FeCl₃ is 4.
Draw the structure based on the name. Then count the number of times each atom appears in the structure. Alternately, you can determine the formula from the structure - and then count all atoms of each type.
In the compound Cu₂O, there is one nonmetal atom, which is oxygen (O). The formula indicates two copper (Cu) atoms, which are metals, and one oxygen atom. Therefore, the total count of nonmetal atoms is one.
methane is a compound as one carbon atoms combines with 4 hydrogen atoms.
Is a count of the numbers of atoms of each element in a compound or in a chemical reaction.
Yes. Three different atoms by element, but the count is...... 6 carbon atoms. 12 hydrogen atoms. 6 oxygen atoms. The compound is glucose.
A chemical formula gives the number ratio of the different kinds of atoms present in the compound. This means that the ratios are the same if you count in individual atoms, dozens of atoms, or molecules of atoms.
Depends on the compound. The formula of that compound will tell you how many atoms are in it. Some compounds are pretty simple, like water. The formula for water is H2O. That means 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen (no subscript means 1.) So, two different types of atoms for a total of three. Or, you might have a compound with the formula of C8H10N4O2. That's caffeine. Count up all the subscripts for each element and you get a total of 24 atoms in that one. And there are plenty of compounds out there with more than that!

Count the number of atoms in a list.A. (defun only-atoms (listx)(cond ((null listx) t)((atom listx) 2)((atom (first listx)) (only-atoms (rest listx)))(nil (+ 1 (only-atoms (first listx))(only-atoms (rest listx))))))
Iodine is not a compound. It is an element. Therefore, it has its own atoms: Iodine atoms.
This compound contain 21 atoms in the molecule.
These atoms are from the chemical elements contained in the molecule of this compound.
The ratio of phosphorus atoms to oxygen atoms in a compound can vary depending on the specific compound. For example, in phosphorus pentoxide (P4O10), the ratio is 4:10.
There are 6 atoms of hydrogen in the compound H2H4O2.
methane is a compound as one carbon atoms combines with 4 hydrogen atoms.
