Subscript (:This is a subscript: (Na2) the "2" is the Subscript.
What are two things you cannot do to a subscript in a chemical equation?
1. You cannot change the subscript just to help you balance the equation. You can only balance an equation by using whole-number coefficients written at the beginning of a substance. 2. If no subscript is present, you can't just add one to help you balance the equation for same reason listed above.
Why Is it incorrect to change the subscript of a balanced equation?
The subscript numbers give you the chemical composition of the compound. Hence it cannot be changed. E.G. water is H2O and cannot be written as anything else. likewise, carbon dioxide is always CO2. I hope this answers your question

What happens if a subscript value is negative or higher than the number of elements in an array?
It cannot be part of the array.
Why are coefficient used to balance equations?

Why is it important never to change a subscription in a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation?
It is important never to change a subscript {note correct spelling} in a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation, because changing a subscript produces a formula that specifies a chemical substance different from the one in the original equation.
How can you type a subscript on your wiki?
If you mean using subscript (for example H2SO4) on WikiAnswers - Type your text as normal, then go back and highlight the text you want to change, and press the button on the blue line above - that's labelled X2
What is the formula for the 5 following compounds potassium bromide iron III sulfate copper II chloride tetraphosphorus heptanitride ammonium carbonate?
potassium bromide - KBr iron (III) sulfate - Fe[subscript 2](SO[subscript 4])[subscript 3] copper (II) chloride - CuCl[subscript 2] tetraphosphorous heptanitride - P[subscript 4]N[subscript 7] ammonium carbonate - (NH[subscript 4])CO[subscript 3]
What does the subscript g on H2Og signify?
the subscript g after H2O indicates that it is water vapour, a gas, which is what the subscript g stands for. If there was a subscript s after the H2O, it would mean that H2O is in a solid form as ice. If there was a subscript l it means that H2O is in the liquid form as water.
