Think of superscript, super in it is like superman and superman flies. So it always goes up. Then subscript, think of the word sub in it like a submarine which goes down underneath the water so the writing will always go down.

Superscript = Letters go up.

Subscript = Letters go down.

What is the total number of atoms of carbon in the formula K3FeCN6?

In chemical formulas, carbon atoms are denoted with the symbol C. Subscripts and superscripts denote the number of carbons. Since there is only one C and no subscripts or superscripts, the compound stated contains only one carbon atom.


Why are subscripts whole numbers?

Subscripts are usually used as a counter or an index. For example, Xn (where n is a subscript - this pathetic browser does not support subscripts) usually refers to the nth (it does not support superscripts either!) X in a sequence of Xs. Since they are counters they should belong to the set of counting numbers.


How do you type superscripts without Microsoft office?

That would depend on the program you are using. There are certain superscripts that are part of the basic Unicode character set. if your superscript is not one of them then you will have to ask about the exact program you are using to write with. Here in the Answers.com editor there are buttons for superscripts NormalSuper and subscripts NormalSub. Each application has its own way (if it is at all possible)

How are chemical formulas written do they use superscripts or subscripts?

Chemical formulas are written with the chemical symbol of each element followed by a subscript. If no subscript is written, it is understood to be 1. In a molecular formula, the subscripts indicate the number of atoms of each element that are present in one molecule. In a chemical formula for an ionic compound, the subscripts represent the lowest whole number ratio of ions in the compound.
