    Chemical formulae use symbols to represent the chemical elements and subscripts to indicate the number of atoms in a chemical compound or molecule. The simplest types are empirical formulae which show the numerical proportions of each type of atom, while molecular formulae indicate the actual numbers of each atom in a molecule without structural information. Examples of different types of chemical formulae are given, including ones showing isotopes using superscript prefixes to denote specific radioactive or stable isotopes.

    <p style="color:green; font-size:30px"> Chemical formulae </p>


    <p> A <u> chemical formulae</u> is a way of presenting <i> information </i> about the <mark> chemical properties </mark>
    of atoms that constitute a particular <b> chemical compound </b> or molecule, <i> using chemical element symbols</i>,
    numbers, and sometimes also other <b>symbols</b>, such as
    <br>
    parantheses, <mark> dashes </mark>, brackets, commas and <del>plus </del> (+) and <del> minus </del> (-) signs. </p>
    <br>
    <p style="color:green"> The simplest types of chemical formulae are called empirical formulae, which use letters and
    numbers indicating the numerical proportions of atoms of each type. Molecular formulae indicate the simplest numbers of each
    type of atom in a molecule,
    <br>
    with no information on structure, For example, the empirical formulae for glucose is CH<sub>2</sub>O (twice as many
    hydrogens atoms as carbon and oxygen), while in molecular formula is C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>(12
    hydrogen atoms, six carbon and oxygen atoms). </p>
    <br>
    <br>
    <p style="color:orange; font-size:30px"> Examples </p>
    <br>
    <br>
    <p> CH<sub>3 </sub>CH<sub>2 </sub>CH<sub>2 </sub>CH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2 </sub>CH<sub>3 </sub> </p>
    <br>
    <br>
    <p> H <sub>3</sub>O<sup>+</sup> or SO<sub>4</sub> <sup> 2- </sup> </p>
    <br>
    <br>
    <p style="color:orange; font-size:30px"> Isotopes </p>
    <br>
    <br>
    <p> Although <mark> isotopes </mark> are more relevant to <b> nuclear chemistry</mark> or <u>stable isotopes
    chemistry </u> than to conventional chemistry, different isotopes may be indicated with a prefixed superscript in a chemical
    formulae. For example, the phosphate ion
    <br>
    containing radioactive phosphorus -32 is [<sup>32</sup>PO<sub>4</sub>4]<sup>3-</sup>. Also a study involving
    stable isotope ratios might include the molecule <sup>18</sup>O<sup>16</sup> <sup>O. </p>
