Chemical formula of a molecular compound...

Chemical formula of a molecular compound represents the actual number of atoms of different elements present in one molecule of the compound. With the help of symbols and valencies or charges, a formula can be made. First write the symbol such as positive ion to the left and negative ion to the right and then criss cross the valencies or charges . Thus in this way we can write a chemical formula.
