What notes are in Fsus2?

Fsus2, F suspended second, is F, G and C: the root (F), the major second (G) and the perfect fifth (C). Its formula is 1 2 5.

Is Fsus2 the same as Fadd9?

No, though the names point at the same extra note, G. Fsus2 leaves out the third, so it is neither major nor minor; Fadd9 keeps the third, A, and adds the ninth on top.

Where does Fsus2 go?

Often back to F or Fm, G moving up to the third. It also works on its own as an open, ringing chord.
