1. ~ As was mentioned earlier, when two or more elements come together chemically, you get a compound. But, there are often numbers attached to different elements that mean specific things….scarrry things…

2. CHEMICAL FORMULAS

4. WATER H 2 O HYDROGENOXYGEN THIS SUBSCRIPT 2 MEANS THERE ARE TWO (2) ATOMS OF HYDROGEN IN WATER Whenever you see a subscript number to the right of an element or atom, it means There are that many atoms in the compound. BUT when no number is present, it Is assumed that the number of atoms in the compound is just one (1) Thus, in water there are 2 Hydrogen atoms and only 1 Oxygen

5. H2OH2O Here is what it looks like: O H H

6. Try Some…

8. NaCl (table salt) How many of each in table salt? Na (sodium) = Cl (chlorine) = 1 1 Na Cl

10. HCl Hydrochloric Acid H (Hydrogen) = Cl (Chlorine) = 1 1 How many elements are present in this compound? (Add the total in the Formula) 2

12. C 6 H 12 O 6 (Sugar) C (Carbon) = H (Hydrogen) = O (Oxygen) = 6 12 6 Total = 24

14. Be 3 Al 2 SiO 6 Emerald Write this formula down on your paper, identify the elements, how many of each, and the total number – Beryllium (3), Aluminum (2), Silicon (1), Oxygen (6) Total = (12)
