Think of superscript, super in it is like superman and superman flies. So it always goes up. Then subscript, think of the word sub in it like a submarine which goes down underneath the water so the writing will always go down.
Superscript = Letters go up.
Subscript = Letters go down.
This is a superscript and this is a subscript.
Superscript is text which is offset a little higher than neighboring text. This is superscript
The counterpart is subscript which naturally is offset a little lower. This is subcript
Subscript is small text below. Superscript is small text above.
Examples below:
TEXTsubscript
TEXTsuperscript
A subscript is below the baseline, while a superscript is above (example 10³ = 1,000)
subscripts are the cation superscripts are the anian
The superscript is 195 and the subscript is 78.
In chemical formulas, carbon atoms are denoted with the symbol C. Subscripts and superscripts denote the number of carbons. Since there is only one C and no subscripts or superscripts, the compound stated contains only one carbon atom.
Subscripts are usually used as a counter or an index. For example, Xn (where n is a subscript - this pathetic browser does not support subscripts) usually refers to the nth (it does not support superscripts either!) X in a sequence of Xs. Since they are counters they should belong to the set of counting numbers.
That would depend on the program you are using. There are certain superscripts that are part of the basic Unicode character set. if your superscript is not one of them then you will have to ask about the exact program you are using to write with. Here in the Answers.com editor there are buttons for superscripts NormalSuper and subscripts NormalSub. Each application has its own way (if it is at all possible)
Subscripts give you the number of molecules in that compound. (For example, H2O contains one molecule of Hydrogen.) Superscripts give you a charge.Read more: If_a_formula_for_compound_what_do_the_numbers_tell_you
Two ways are 9 1/10 or 91/10. The first of these requires superscripts and subscripts, but unfortunately, this browser is incapable, at present, with dealing with them.
In Microsoft Word, chemical equations can be entered using special character menus. For example, subscripts and superscripts can be used to denote isotopes, and arrows can indicate reactions.
Fluorine-16 F-16 Use subscripts and superscripts with F to indicate mass and atomic number
Unfortunately, superscripts and subscripts are not recognized in WikiAnswers. 2 cubed would be written with a superscript 3 following a 2. To indicate that here, we write 2^3.
HCl(g) + NH3(g) --> NH4+Cl-(s) at room temperature.The numbers should be subscripts, and the charges should be superscripts.
Alpha decay:- It is a process of disintegration of an element which involves formation of a new element by loosing an alpha particle(He2+).Example:-84Po214 --------->82Pb210 + 2He4 + QWhere subscripts denote atomic number, Superscripts denote atomic mass and Q is the energy released in the process.Beta Decay:- It is also a process of disintegration but the difference from alpha decay lies in the fact that an electron is given out in the process rather than alpha particle.Example:-0n1 ----->1p1 + -1e0 + anti-neutrino.Where n is neutron, p is proton, e is electron, subscripts are atomic charge and and superscripts are atomic mass.
