Chemical Formula Description
The caffeine molecule contains a total of 24 atom(s). There are 10 Hydrogen atom(s), 8 Carbon atom(s), 4 Nitrogen atom(s), and 2 Oxygen atom(s). A chemical formula of caffeine can therefore be written as:
C8H10N4O2
The chemical formula of caffeine shown above is based on the molecular formula indicating the numbers of each type of atom in a molecule without structural information, which is different from the empirical formula which provides the numerical proportions of atoms of each type.
The above chemical formula is the basis of stoichiometry in chemical equations, i.e., the calculation of relative quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. The law of conservation of mass dictates that the quantity of each element given in the chemical formula does not change in a chemical reaction. Thus, each side of the chemical equation must represent the same quantity of any particular element based on the chemical formula.

Chemical structure of caffeine
The chemical structure image of caffeine is available in chemical structure page of caffeine, which specifies the molecular geometry, i.e., the spatial arrangement of atoms in the chemical formula of caffeine and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together.
-
Molecular weight of caffeine
The molecular weight of caffeine is available in molecular weight page of caffeine, which is calculated as the sum of the atomic weights of each constituent element multiplied by the number of atoms of that element specified in the chemical formula of caffeine.
-
InChI (IUPAC International Chemical Identifier) information of caffeine
The molecular chemical formulas lack structural information. An alternative textual expression including the structural information is InChI. The full standard InChI of caffeine is:
InChI=1S/C8H10N4O2/c1-10-4-9-6-5(10)7(13)12(3)8(14)11(6)2/h4H,1-3H3
It can provide a standard way to encode the molecular information of caffeine to facilitate the search for the compound information in databases and on the web.
The condensed, 27 character standard InChIKey (hashed version of the full standard InChI) of caffeine is:
InChIKey=RYYVLZVUVIJVGH-UHFFFAOYSA-N
The InChIKey may allow easier web searches for caffeine, but it needs to be linked to the full InChI to get back to the original structure of the caffeine since the full standard InChI cannot be reconstructed from the InChIKey.
