The small numbers in the chemical formula
represent the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of the compound. Specifically:- The subscript 12 after C indicates there are 12 carbon (C) atoms.- The subscript 22 after H indicates there are 22 hydrogen (H) atoms.- The subscript 11 after O indicates there are 11 oxygen (O) atoms.So, these small numbers stand for the **number of atoms** of each respective element in the molecule.
