Chemistry homework help

e formula for a compound indicates the elements that make up the compound and the number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  The numbers of atoms are indicated by the use of small numbers called subscripts. 
Sometimes groups of atoms act as a single atom.  Such a group of atoms is called a polyatomic ion.  If a polyatomic ion is used in a formula more than once, it is put in parentheses and the subscript appears outside of the parentheses.  When a subscript appears outside the parentheses, it indicates that all the elements inside the parentheses should be multiplied by that subscript.  For example, the formula Fe(OH)3 indicates the combination of 1 atom of iron (Fe), 3 atoms of oxygen (O) and 3 atoms of hydrogen (H).
