A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of atoms in the smallest representative unit of a substance.

Explanation:

In chemistry, a formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.

The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.

Which would least strongly attract electrons from other atoms in a compound?

sergey [27]

The concept we are looking for here is electronegativity. This concept is a measure of how strong an atom or element can attract a pair, that is bonding, of electrons to itself.

Fluorine is the element or atom of the greatest electronegativity. Electronegativity would increase as we move left to right of the periodic table.
