A number following the element refers to the quantity of those atoms. The number comes after the element. For example, H2O means two hydrogens and one Oxygen, H2O4S means two hydrogens, four oxygens and one sulphur The order in which the elements are written usually follows the rule developed by Edwin Hill in 1900. According to this rule, when you have Carbon it goes first, Hydrogen is second and the rest are in alphabetical order.
