  • Calculating Atoms in Mg₂SiO₄: A Simple Explanation
    Here's how to determine the number of atoms in Mg₂SiO₄:

    * Subscripts indicate the number of atoms:

    * Mg₂ means there are 2 magnesium (Mg) atoms.

    * Si means there is 1 silicon (Si) atom.

    * O₄ means there are 4 oxygen (O) atoms.

    * Total atoms: 2 + 1 + 4 = 7 atoms

    Therefore, there are 7 atoms in one molecule of Mg₂SiO₄.
