The number of ____ is written to the right of the element as a subscript.
Atoms
- Gives the relative number of atoms of each element in a compound.
- Does not describe how many atoms, the order of attachment, or shape.
- Used for ionic compounds
Empirical Formula
- Gives the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of a compound.
- Does not describe the order of attachment, or the shape.
Molecular Formula
- Uses lines to represent covalent bonds and shows how atoms in a molecule are connected or bonded to each other.
- does not directly describe the 3D shape.
Structural Formula
Uses balls to represent the atoms and sticks to represent the attachments between them.
Ball-and-stick Models
Uses interconnected spheres to show the electron clouds of atoms connecting together.
Space-filling Models
Elements whose particles are single atoms
Atomic Elements
Elements whose particles are multi-atom molecules
Molecular Elements
