The formula C8H5NO describes a molecule made of 8 carbon atoms, 5 hydrogen atoms, 1 nitrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom. It is written in Hill notation: carbon first, then hydrogen, then the other elements in alphabetical order. The formula tells you which atoms are present, not how they are connected, which is why several different chemicals can share it.
