it indirectly tells us the number of electrons present in the element
eg: O2(2 is in subscript) it tells us that there are 2 oxygen atoms which have joined together to attain neutrality charge
The electronic configuration of oxygen is = 2,6
so oxygen needs 2 electrons to become neutral ( to have 8 electrons in valence(last) shell )
O2 is a covalent bond (if i am not wrong) i.e 2 oxygen atoms share 2 electrons EACH
Al2O3 (2 and 3 are subscript)
this defines that there are 2 atoms of aluminium and 3 atoms of oxygen which allowed them to become neutral (no charge)

What does a subscript tell us about an element in a compound?
In a molecular formula, the subscript tells us the number of atoms of the element that are present in one molecule of the compound. For instance,H2O tells us that there are two hydrogen and one oxygen atom per molecule of water. As for ionic compounds, it tells us the number of atoms present in one formula unit of the compound.
