A chemical formula is the representation of elements present in a compound with

the help of symbols and also the number of atoms of each element with those
numbers only. for eg: A molecule of water (compound) contains 2 atoms of hydrogen
and one atom of oxygen hence its chemical formula is H2O.

(i)

2 atoms of hydrogen + 1 atom of sulphur = 3 atoms

(ii)

1 atom of phosphorus + 4 atoms of oxygen = 5 atoms
