Symbol is representative for a chemical element.
Subscript is representative for the number of a specific atom in a molecule.
The subscript 4 should be written to the right of the symbol for fluorine in the compound dinitrogen tetrafluoride, which is N2F4.
The number of atoms of each element present in a molecule is indicated by the subscript to the right of the element symbol in the chemical formula. For example, in H2O, there are 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
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.
There are 3 carbon atoms in a molecule of C3, as indicated by the subscript "3" following the element symbol C.
As indicated by the subscript on the atomic symbol for oxygen, there are 3 oxygen atoms.
The chemical symbol of fermium is Fm; as a subscript in the isotopes symbols is atomic number.
superscript 63 and subscript 152 Eu (the super and subscript go before the symbol with superscript on top of the subscript)
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 subscript "4" in the symbol He indicates that helium has an atomic number of 2, meaning it has 2 protons in its nucleus. The atomic number is represented by the bottom number in the symbol.
The number placed below an element's symbol in a chemical formula is called a subscript. Subscripts indicate the number of atoms of that element in a molecule.
The subscript is the number of atoms in a molecule.
The subscript 4 should be written to the right of the symbol for fluorine in the compound dinitrogen tetrafluoride, which is N2F4.
The number placed below an element symbol in a chemical formula is called a subscript because it indicates the number of atoms of that element in a molecule or compound. The subscript is written slightly below the element symbol to differentiate it from the coefficient, which applies to the whole molecule or compound.
The subscript that is to the right of the element symbol, no subscript means 1. Example H2O, 2 hydrogen 1 oxygen
The symbols in a chemical formula represent the elements present in the compound. A zero atom, or no atom, is denoted by omitting the element symbol from the formula. A subscript of 1 is not usually written in a chemical formula as it is implied. If there are more than one atom of an element, the number of atoms is indicated by a subscript after the element symbol.
One (1).
The subscript that is to the right of the element symbol, no subscript means 1. Example H2O, 2 hydrogen 1 oxygen
