The symbol for oxygen, O, does not have a subscript because oxygen is typically found as a diatomic molecule (O2) in nature. The subscript 2 is understood to represent the number of oxygen atoms bonded together.
The oxygen symbol (O₂) can be made with the combination of the symbols "O" and "2" using a subscript format. Some word processors and text editing software also have specific shortcuts or menu options to insert subscript characters.
The chemical symbol of fermium is Fm; as a subscript in the isotopes symbols is atomic number.
5, the subscript immediately after the atomic symbol O for oxygen.
The number after a chemical symbol in a chemical formula represents the number of atoms of that element in a single molecule. This number is called a subscript, and it indicates the ratio of atoms in the compound.
Three Oxygen molecules is called Ozone or O3.
The subscript that is to the right of the element symbol, no subscript means 1. Example H2O, 2 hydrogen 1 oxygen
The subscript that is to the right of the element symbol, no subscript means 1. Example H2O, 2 hydrogen 1 oxygen

5, the subscript immediately after the atomic symbol O for oxygen.
As indicated by the subscript on the atomic symbol for oxygen, there are 3 oxygen atoms.
Because symbols for the elements do not have subscripts. A subscript is added in the chemical formula of a compound to indicate how many atoms of the element are included in a molecule of the compound. For example, when hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) combine to form water (H2O), a subscript 2 is added to the H to indicate there are two hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water, but no subscript is added to the O, because there is only one oxygen atom is in a molecule of water.

10: The total number is the product of the coefficient in front of the chemical formula and the subscript immediately following the symbol of the element asked about. If there is no subscript, a subscript of 1 is inferred.
In a chemical formula, a subscript is a number written to the right and slightly below the symbol for the chemical element. If the subscript is 1, it is not written. The subscripts for the chemical formula for water, H2O, are 2 for hydrogen and 1 for oxygen. The subscripts for the chemical formula for glucose, C6H12O6, are 6 for carbon, 12 for hydrogen, and 6 for oxygen.
Oxygen does not have a subscript since it is an element. Subscripts are usually found in the chemical formula of a compound and not an element.
