: '''Chemical Formulae''' show which [[element]]s are in a [[molecule]].
: The number of each [[element]] in a [[molecule]] is shown with subscript after that [[element]].
: Some '''chemical formulae''' have brackets which indicate that the [[element]]s in the bracket are multiplied by the number after the bracket.*MgBr<sub>2</sub>: [[Magnesium Bromide]] with one 1 [[Magnesium]] [[atom]] and two 2 [[Bromine]] [[atom]]s.*CO<sub>2</sub>: [[Carbon Dioxide]] with one 1 [[Carbon]] [[atom]] and two 2 [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s.*Li<sub>2</sub>O: [[Lithium Oxide]] with two 2 [[Lithium]] [[atom]]s and one 1 [[Oxygen]] [[atom]].H*Al(OH)<sub>3</sub>: [[Aluminium Hydroxide]] with 1 [[Aluminium]] [[atom]], with 3 lots of OH; 3 [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s and 3 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s.*Al<sub>2</sub>SO(CO<sub>43</sub>)<sub>3</sub>: [[Sulphuric AcidAluminium Carbonate]] with two 2 [[HydrogenAluminium]] [[atom]]s, one and 3 lots of CO<sub>3</sub>; 3 [[SulphurCarbon]] [[atom]] s and four 9 [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s.
Some '''chemical formulae''' are written with the [[element]]s at specific points, not all grouped together, to show where different [[element]]s are [[Chemical Bond|bonded]]. This is called a [[Structural Formula|structural formula]].
*CH<sub>3</sub>COOH: [[Ethanoic Acid]] with 2 [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s, 2 [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s and 4 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s. This shows that one [[Carbon]] is [[Chemical Bond|bonded]] to three [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s while the other [[Carbon]] is [[Double Bond|double bonded]] to one [[Oxygen]] and has a [[Single Bond|single bond]] with an [[Oxygen]], which itself it bonded to a [[Hydrogen]].
*CH<sub>3</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>COOH: [[Propanoic Acid]] with three [[Carbon]] [[atom]]s, two [[Oxygen]] [[atom]]s and 6 [[Hydrogen]] [[atom]]s.
