There are within the name of the compound. For example CO2 is Carbon Dioxide, but if you mean in a reaction then no.

2CO2 would just be called 2 moles of Carbon Dioxide.

No, you must look at the formula and count the numbers of each atom in it then multiply by the coefficient if one is present after balancing the equation.
