Brief Explanations

A chemical formula is a way to represent a compound. It uses the symbols of the elements present in the compound and subscripts to indicate the number of atoms of each element in one unit of the compound. For example, in the formula \(H_2O\), \(H\) represents hydrogen and \(O\) represents oxygen. The subscript \(2\) after \(H\) means there are 2 hydrogen atoms, and the lack of a subscript after \(O\) (which is equivalent to a subscript of \(1\)) means there is 1 oxygen atom in one unit of water.
