How many elements are in Li2SO4?

Answer 1

Lithium sulfate forms an ionic lattice, and it has seven atoms in its empirical formula.

Answer 2

The number after the element's abbreviation tells you how many atoms of that element are in the molecule. For simplicity, the number 1 is omitted from the abbreviations, so if there is no number, there is only one atom of that element in the molecule.

H2O, for example, has two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.

Li2S, therefore, is two atoms of lithium bonded to one atom of sulfur.

Answer 3

Li2SO4 contains 3 elements: lithium (Li), sulfur (S), and oxygen (O).

Answer 4

Li2SO4 has lithium (Li), Sulfur (S) and Oxygen (O).
