Question

Chemical symbol of hydrogen is ${\mathrm{H}}_2$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Symbol

• A symbol is a short form that stands for an atom of a specific element.
• Each element has a specific symbol for example $\mathrm{C}$ stands for carbon.
• The chemical symbol of hydrogen is $\mathrm{H}$.

The molecular formula:

• The molecular formula of a compound is the symbolic representation of the one molecule of a compound which shows the number of atom of each element that is present in it.
• Therefore ${\mathrm{H}}_2$ is the molecular formula of hydrogen.

Hence the above statement is false.
