What are the uses of chemical formulas?
Chemical formulas are used to describe the types of atoms and their numbers in a molecule or compound. The atoms of each element are represented by one or two different letters. When more than one atom of a specific element is found in a molecule, a subscript is used to indicate this in the chemical formula.
