List of chemical compounds and their common names and formulas
Chemical compound
A chemical compound is a chemical substance made up of many identical molecules made up of atoms of more than one element joined by chemical bonds. There is a fixed ratio for a chemical compound that determines its composition. For example, water (H2O) is a compound made up of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. The proportion of each element is usually expressed by a chemical formula. The simplest way to define a chemical compound is "a substance made up of two or more elements." Water, carbon dioxide, and table salt are three examples of chemical compounds.
Common names of chemical compounds.
Every chemical compound has a chemical or scientific name and a common or popular name. Scientists or chemists identify a specific chemical compound by its scientific name. But in general they are known by their common name and many of them are part of our day to day. For example, the chemical name for NaCl is sodium chloride and its common name is salt.

chemical formula
A chemical formula is a way of representing information about the chemical portions of the atoms that make up a specific chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes other symbols such as parentheses, hyphens, parentheses, commas, and more. less. signs are used. In other words, a chemical formula represents the ratio of atoms per element that make up the chemical compound. This is done by using indexes. The subscript to the right of each element's symbol indicates the number of atoms of that element that make up that chemical compound.
A chemical formula gives a lot of information about the chemical it represents, such as: B. how many and what atoms are made of and how the atoms are arranged.
Now let's take a look at the common names and formulas of some important chemical compounds.
