  1. I'm unsure of your meaning here but...

    H2SO4 (sulphuric acid) consists of 2 Atoms of Hydrogen, 1 atom of Sulphur and 4 Atoms of Oxygen, chemically combined to form 1 molecule of the Compound.

    CH3COOH (Acetic acid), is 2 Atoms of Carbon, 4 atoms of Hydrogen and 2 atoms of Oxygen forming each molecule of the Compound (also known as Vinegar) when around 5% in solution in water).

    Etahanol (Ethyl Alcohol) is C2H5OH, which represents 2 Carbon atoms, 6 of hydrogen and 1 of Oxygen in each molecule of the compound.


  2. break them down by sorting positive and negative ions, make them balanced by making sure that there is no positives or negatives etc.
