2. The formula for a compound indicates the elements
that make up the compound and the number of
atoms of each element present in that specific
compound. These numbers of atoms are
indicated by the use of small numbers called
subscripts.

3. When a subscript appears outside the
parentheses, it indicates that all the elements
inside the parentheses should be multiplied by
that subscript.
Fe(OH) 3

4. • Calcium Carbonate = Limestone
CaCO3
Ca = Calcium = 1
C = Carbon = 1
O = Oxygen = 3

5. • Magnesium Hydroxide
Mg(OH)2
Mg = Magnesium= 1
O = Oxygen= 2
H = Hydrogen= 2

6. Trinitrotoluene = (TNT) explosive
C7H5(NO2)3
C= Carbon = 7
H = Hydrogen = 5
N = Nitrogen = 3
O = Oxygen = 6

7. As you look over these compounds you
may observe that many of them contain
atoms
similar _________ of elements. Since
carbon
we are a ______________ based
environment, carbon is found in all living
organisms. The elements in the Human
Body can be broken down to include the
main elements of Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen, Carbon and representatives
from about 20 other elements.

8. SIX

make up most living organisms are
Phosphorus
Carbon, ________________, Sulfur,
Hydrogen
__________________, Oxygen and
Nitrogen
_____________.
