Subscript is a type of text formatting that makes text smaller and below the baseline. For example, this text should appear subscript. The opposite of subscript is superscript, which is smaller text that is above the baseline.
This is called subscript. In order to type in subscript on programs like Microsoft Word press the "ctrl" key (doesn't matter if it's lctrl or rctrl); while holding it down also press the "=" key then let go. From now on anything you type will be in subscript. In order to get out of subscript mode press "ctrl" and "=" at the same time again. In order to do this in programs like Google Drive, just replace "=" with "," and it should work the same way. Also, if you ever need to subscript using html the way to do that is <sub>text</sub> any text between the <sub>s will be smaller.

24: The answer to the number of atoms present in a formula that does not include parentheses is always the sum of all the subscript numbers in the formula plus one for each type of atom shown without a subscript. If the formula does contain parentheses, all the subscript numbers inside the parentheses should be multiplied by the subscript number after the closing parenthesis itself before the sum of all subscripts is taken.
