a subscript found at the bottom right of the letters in the compound. if there is no number, that indicates there is only one of that element, or atom.
A compound is a substance made up of a definite proportion of two or more elements. A chemical formula tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound. It contains the symbols of the atoms of the elements present in the compound as well as how many there are for each element in the form of subscripts

it tells how many atoms are in the unit to be stable
It tells you what type of bonding whether; Ionic, Metallic, Covalent Network or Molecular Covalent. It tells you the elements that make up the compound. It also tells you the stage of matter; solid, liquid or gas. And since you known the elements you can find out really anything you want to know about it like; # of protons, # of neutrons, mass number, atomic weight, reactivity, etc.
