Learn the skill

A subscript states how many atoms of an element are in one molecule. A number of molecules multiplies that count. Do not change the formula's subscripts to count a larger sample.

Worked example

Three CO2 molecules contain 3 x 2 = 6 oxygen atoms and 3 carbon atoms.

Three separate CO2 molecule models each show O-C-O. Together they contain three carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms. The connecting lines are schematic, not a complete bond representation.
