Question

why is the correct formula of a substance more valuable to a chemist than name the substance

Answer 1

hey there ! ☺️

>>>> Chemical formulas are more valuable than chemical name because : >>>>

•they can fully specify the structure σf even the simplest of molecules and chemical substances.
•Chemical formulas may also be used by chemists in chemical equations to describe the  chemical reactions and other chemical transformations , which is a great advantage.
•further, they are also used to keep track of numbers of atoms as well as numbers of electrical charges in chemical reactions, thus helping in balancing chemical equations , and as such these equations can be used in chemical problems too.
