  • Understanding Formula Units: Subscripts in CaO
    The subscripts for the formula unit CaO are:

    * Ca: 1 (although not explicitly written, there is an understood subscript of 1 when no subscript is present)

    * O: 1

    Therefore, the formula unit CaO represents one calcium atom (Ca) and one oxygen atom (O).
