This video is going to be talking about molecular formulas, and specifically for this example, we're going to be talking about biotin.
00:10
So if you look down here, you can see a structure of a molecule, and it's very complex, and this is specifically for biotin.
00:20
If you don't understand this, that's completely okay, you don't have to.
00:24
This was just to show kind of the complexity of molecules and why they have an easier way to write things out.
00:30
So a molecular formula is going to be a presentation of both the number and the types of atoms in a molecule.
00:40
So for biotin, there's going to be five different types of atoms.
00:45
We have carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.
00:54
And when we write these out, you're going to write the chemical symbol for these, or sorry, the atom symbol for these.
01:01
So carbon is going to be c, hydrogen is going to be h, oxygen is o, nitrogen is n, and sulfur is s...
