The '''Hill system''' is a system of writing ]s such that the number of ] ]s in a ] is indicated first, the number of ] atoms next, and then the number of all other ]s subsequently, in ]. When the formula contains no carbon, all the elements, including hydrogen, are listed alphabetically. |

By sorting formulas according to the number of atoms of each element present in the formula according to these rules, with differences in earlier numbers being treated as more significant than differences in any later number — like sorting text strings into ] — it is possible to ] chemical formulas into what is known as '''Hill system order'''. |
