DEF

Fórmula que incluye los símbolos de los elementos presentes en una molécula, afectados de subíndices numéricos que indican el número real de cada uno de los átomos que la integran.

CONT

Fórmula molecular: muestra el número real y la clase de átomos de una entidad química (es decir, una molécula, radical o ion).

CONT

[...] si con métodos convenientes se determina el peso molecular del anhídrido fosfórico, se obtiene un valor doble del que corresponde al conjunto P2O5 [2, 5, subíndices] ;en realidad las moléculas del anhídrido son P4O10 [4, 10, subíndices]. Esta expresión, denominada fórmula molecular, indica también el número de átomos de cada especie existentes en la molécula.

CONT

Les principales [combinaisons de phosphore avec l'oxygène] sont l'anhydride phosphoreux et l'hémipentaoxyde de phosphore ou anhydride phosphorique. On les obtient par combustion du phosphore en présence d'air; pour l'anhydride phosphorique, on utilise un excès d'air. [Il] est solide, blanc, très avide d'eau, ce qui le fait employer comme desséchant énergique.
