A chemical formula represents the composition of a molecule of a compound.

It shows:

The elements present.
The number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
Sometimes, it also helps to determine the molar mass of the compound.

Example:
H₂O → 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen in one molecule of water.
