how to read the formula: 3-(2-aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol
You need to teach everyone in this thread (in total clarity) how to read the seratonin molecular formula "C10H12N2O". What is in the formula? Break it down in simple, intuitive labels.

It's a monoamine neurotransmitter, it has in it's constitution a hydroxylated indole connected to an amino group (NH2) by a two carbon chain (-CH2-CH2-).
I might not be following your question though

Ok then, you have 10 atoms of Carbon, 12 atoms of Hydrogen, 2 Atoms of Nitrogen and 1 atom of Oxygen in this molecule. The quantity after the atom symbol expresses the amount of atoms of that specific element that the molecule has.
Did I get it right this time professor?

Gyromitrin, one of the toxic compounds in false morels in the genera Gyromitra and others. It is a hydrazine, a compound that has two nitrogen atoms bonded to each other by a single bond. In the body it is converted to monomethylhydrazine, which is a rocket fuel. That's pretty cool.

This compound has a molecular formula of C18H12O9. It is an organic acid, and is one of the chemicals that, when exposed to an oxidase, give rise to the blue bruising in many Boletes.
