What is depicted in a molecular formula?

Sagot :

Answer:

Molecular formula describes about number of atoms of each constituent element present in any molecule.

Explanation:

Molecular formula describe about the number and type of atoms in any molecule.  A molecular formula is not a chemical name but instead it is a chemical formula of a compound. A molecular formula consist of chemical symbols for constituent elements followed by numeric subscripts which tells us about number of atoms of each element present in a molecule. For example : Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen i.e NH₃ . As there is only one N atom so we have written only N in it's molecular formula. But as there are 3-H atoms so we have written subscript 3 in H symbol in it's molecular formula. Molecular formula does not tell us anything about shape of molecule .
