In a chemical formula what does the coefficient indicate?
In a chemica formula coefficients indicate the number of atoms in a given molecule. Example: K2CO3 The molecule contain two atoms of potassium so the coefficient is 2 and three atoms of oxygen so the coefficient is 3.
What do chemist use to stand for atoms or elements?
Atomic symbols are used to represent elements, a negative (-) and a psoitive (+) represent electrons and protons, respectively. Chemicals or other compounds are often written as a combination of atomic symbols with subscripts to indicate the presence of multiple atoms.
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 is the difference between a subscript and a coefficient in a chemical formula?
The subscripts tell you how the atoms are bound together. The coefficient tells you how many atoms there are.
What information do subscripts provide in a chemical formula?
It is the ratio which means how many atoms it contains....i think
What in chemical formulas tells the number of atom in elements?
indicate the number of atoms or ions in a single unit
The subscripts of a compound indicate?
Subscripts after an element symbol indicate the number of atoms of that element in the compound, or (for more complicated compounds) in the particular radical in that part of the formula. For example, N with a subscript of 2 means 2 nitrogen atoms. If you wanted to indicate multiple numbers of a given radical or compound, that is indicated by a number on the line, rather than a subscript, and it comes before not after.
In a chemical formula what do subscripts mean?
In a chemical formula, the significance of subscripts is that it tells you how many atoms of a certain element are present in a structure.
Tell you the number of atoms of each element?
Subscripts :)
In a chemical formula what does the coefficient indicate?
In a chemica formula coefficients indicate the number of atoms in a given molecule. Example: K2CO3 The molecule contain two atoms of potassium so the coefficient is 2 and three atoms of oxygen so the coefficient is 3.
Describe the meaning of the subscripts in the formula for glucose C6H12O6?
The meaning of subscripts in a chemical formula is to indicate the number of a given atom in the molecule.
How many atoms need to be bonded together to be a molecule?
subscripts A+
What do the subscripts in the formula for ethane represent?
subscripts in a formula indicates the number of atoms in a molecule or the ratio of elements in a compound.
How many atoms does copper sulfate have?
First it helps to know the chemical formula: CuSO4 The number in the subscripts indicate the number of atoms of an element in the compound. If there is no number, then it is implied that there is only one atom. So, there is one atom of copper, one atom of sulfur, and four atoms of oxygen; for a total of six atoms.
What tells you the number atoms of each elements?
atomic number
How are subscripts used in a compound?
They show the number of atoms that element has in that compound.
