Answer:
It represents the <em>number of atoms</em> of that particular element present in the compound. In C₂H₄O₂ there are 2 Carbon atoms, 4 Hydrogen atoms and 2 Oxygen atoms.
Answer:
D, Li2S
Explanation:
This is because Lithium, which is in group IA of the periodic table, has a charge of +1. Sulfur will have a charge of -2 because it is in group 6A in the periodic table, which means to balance these out, there needs to be 2 lithium ions which would result in a charge of +2. With Lithium now having a charge of +2 due to having two atoms in the compound, and sulfur already having a charge of -2 as one atom, these two cancel out meaning the compound is neutral.
