2. Empirical formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_formula

   Glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6), ribose (C 5 H 10 O 5), Acetic acid (C 2 H 4 O 2), and formaldehyde (CH 2 O) all have different molecular formulas but the same empirical formula: CH 2 O.This is the actual molecular formula for formaldehyde, but acetic acid has double the number of atoms, ribose has five times the number of atoms, and glucose has six times the number of atoms.

3. Chemical formula - Wikipedia

   An example of the difference is the empirical formula for glucose, which is CH 2 O (ratio 1:2:1), while its molecular formula is C 6 H 12 O 6 (number of atoms 6:12:6). For water, both formulae are H 2 O. A molecular formula provides more information about a molecule than its empirical formula, but is more difficult to establish.

4. Chemical equation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_equation

   A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities are on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that points towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

5. Defining equation (physical chemistry) - Wikipedia

   For example, the mass of water might be written in subscripts as m H 2 O, m water, m aq, m w (if clear from context) etc., or simply as m(H 2 O). Another example could be the electronegativity of the fluorine-fluorine covalent bond, which might be written with subscripts χ F-F, χ FF or χ F-F etc., or brackets χ(F-F), χ(FF) etc. Neither is ...

6. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

   For example, in the reaction CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O, the stoichiometric number of CH 4 is −1, the stoichiometric number of O 2 is −2, for CO 2 it would be +1 and for H 2 O it is +2. In more technically precise terms, the stoichiometric number in a chemical reaction system of the i -th component is defined as

7. Formula unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_unit

   In chemistry, a formula unit is the smallest unit of a non-molecular substance, such as an ionic compound, covalent network solid, or metal. [1] [2] It can also refer to the chemical formula for that unit. Those structures do not consist of discrete molecules, and so for them, the term formula unit is used.
