Question

what is a chemical formula?​

Answer 1

Answer:

A chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbols, such as parentheses, dashes, brackets, commas and plus (+) and minus (−) signs.

Answer 2

We encounter chemical substances and compounds everyday. The substances under the kitchen sink that we use to clean our houses as well as those that are staples in our medicine cabinet are made up of chemical substances. These chemicals are made up of a fixed proportion of atoms, and these atoms are arranged in a certain way. In order to figure out what these proportions are and how they are arranged for any given substance, we need to know the chemical formula of the substance or compound.
