A list of chemical compound formulas is a table that shows the chemical symbols and atomic numbers of the elements that make up a particular compound, along with the subscripts that indicate how many atoms of each element are present in the compound. For example, the formula for water is H2O, which means that a water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms (H) and one oxygen atom (O).
Lists of chemical compound formulas can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Identifying the elements that are present in a particular compound
- Calculating the molar mass of a compound
- Predicting the properties of a compound
- Writing chemical equations
