Dear Readers, In this article I provide a complete list of all the Chemical Names and formulas of Substances, also the Chemical name of different Acids , a list of Common Chemical Formulas and Names, and many things which we use in our daily life which are very useful for us.
In most of the Competitive examinations like Railway NTPC, JE, ALP, Group D, SSC CGL, CHSL, Banking, FCI, State PSU, etc., science is a major part of General Knowledge. Most questions arise in the examination from Unit and Measurement, Chemical Formulas, Inventions and Discoveries, Important Minerals & Ores, Various Branches of science, etc. Other important topics are Padma Award Complete Details, Complete List of Important Wars/Battles in Indian History, Books and Authors, Jnanpith Award Winners List (1965-2021), 275+ CEO List Of Top Companies-2021, which help Aspirants for SSC (CGL, MultiTasking), Railway JE, NTPC, State PSU, and all competitive exams.

What is Chemical formula?
A chemical formula gives us information about the number of atoms of each element in a compound. There are different types of chemical formulas and each type gives us different information about a chemical substance. The different types of chemical formulas include molecular, empirical, structural, and condensed structural formulas.
Each chemical substances have their own chemical formula because each chemical substance has a specific chemical composition.
