What do you do if there is only one atom of an element in a formula?

You do not write a subscript because it is understood to be one. For example, the formula for water, H2O, indicates that there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom in a molecule of water. There is no subscript written next to the oxygen atom because it is understood to be one.
