The ratio of elements in a compound is determined by the number of atoms of each element present in the compound. This ratio is represented by the chemical formula of the compound, showing the types and numbers of atoms involved in the chemical bonding.
The answer depends on whether you want the ratio of the number of atoms or their mass.
A compound consists of substances combined in definite propertions

From the sciene grade 9 textbook? :P
The mole ratio is the same as the ratio of atoms, which you can tell from the subscripts; for example water, H2O has two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom.
Yes, empirical formulas provide the simplest ratio of elements in a compound. By determining the molar ratios between different elements in a compound, we can find the simplest whole number ratio that represents the elements present.
The empirical formula of a compound represents the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements present in the compound. It does not necessarily reflect the actual number of atoms of each element in the molecule, but it provides the relative proportions of the elements in the compound.
No, elements in a compound are not always present in the same proportions. The ratio of elements in a compound is determined by its chemical formula.
If matter is made up of two or more elements and has the same ratio of atoms no matter the amount of the substance, it is a compound. A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.
To determine the empirical formula of a compound, you need the molar masses of its elements and their ratio in the compound. Calculate the ratio of the elements in terms of whole numbers, which will give you the empirical formula.
