Chemical composition refers to the identity and relative number of the elements that make up a substance.
Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. Compounds are substances composed of two or more elements that are chemically combined in a fixed ratio.
Atoms are the basic units of matter. They consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, and electrons that orbit the nucleus. Molecules are formed when two or more atoms bond together chemically.
Chemical formulas represent the composition of a substance. They show the symbols of the elements present and the ratio of atoms of each element in the compound.
