The chemical formula of a compound describes the elements the compound contains and the

A. pH of the compound.

B. conduction of the compound.

C. ratio of elements in the compound.

D. ratio of neutrons to protons in each element.

C. ratio of elements in the compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance that constitutes two or more elements in a defined proportion. A chemical compound is different from another compound in what it contains i. e. elements. A chemical formula shows the elements contained in a specific compound. For example, the chemical formula of sodium chloride (NaCl) shows us that it contains Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) elements as represented by symbols.

In addition to this, a chemical formula also shows the ratio of each element that makes up the compound. An element can have more than one atom in a compound. For example, CaCl2 is the chemical formula for Calcium chloride and it shows is that the ratio of Calcium (Ca) to Chlorine (Cl) is 1:2.
