"It is made up of 11 total atoms of 3 different elements."

Reason: a molecular formula lists how many atoms of each element are in one molecule (the subscripts add to the total and the distinct element symbols give the number of different elements). It does not show how the atoms are bonded or arranged (so you can't infer a "straight line" from the formula).
