A subscript is a small number written below the number, whilst a superscript is written above the number. A superscript 2 is used to indicate a squared number.
4. In CH3, the 3 is a subscript, denoting that their are 3 hydrogen atoms. if there's no subscript, then consider it one atom. so the first two Carbons are single, and the second one is double, making 4
The atomic number is the number of positive protons present in the nucleus of an atom.
The whole number, the one at the top, above the element's symbol in the element box, is the atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons per atom in that particular element. The bottom number, that is always a decimal, is the atomic mass.
A googol is 10(100) . a googleplex is 10(googol). These numbers are larger beyond the size of the universe. It is estimated that there are about 10(80) hydrogen atoms in the universe. Thus such a number could not be written, even using each hydrogen atom as a counter. Note, the script program used here does not allow powers to be expressed, so the brackets in the above indicate powers.
The numerator, which is the number above the line. The denominator, which is the number below the line. The denominator defines the size of the fractional parts of a whole, and the numerator tells how many there are. A fraction is often used to express the division of the numerator by the denominator.
false
A subscript is below the line, as in 52 or 5x; a superscript is above the line: 52.
1. You cannot change the subscript just to help you balance the equation. You can only balance an equation by using whole-number coefficients written at the beginning of a substance. 2. If no subscript is present, you can't just add one to help you balance the equation for same reason listed above.
"Super"script raises the letter above the line "Sub"script lowers the letter below
A subscript is a number that is written half a space below the line and which looks like this: H2O (this compares to a superscript which is written half a space above the line, looking like this: 1012). In a chemical formula, the subscript tells you the number of atoms of a particular element in a molecule. For the example that I gave, which is the very familiar formula of the water molecule, the subscript tells us that there are two hydrogen atoms in the molecule (H is for hydrogen).
No: An oxidation number, if shown at all in a chemical formula, is shown with a superscript. The oxidation number is usually shown only for monatomic ions.
Text written slightly above the line (like this) is called superscript.Text written slightly below the line (like this) is called subscript.
subscript lower a round the baseline e.g H2O superscript rises a word above the baseline e.g4th
The 2 in CO2 is typically written as a subscript and goes below the O. This notation helps indicate that there are two oxygen atoms bonded to the carbon atom in carbon dioxide.
By the serial number on the bottom of the receiver. Sometimes the serail will include a letter above the number or a letter/number combo above the number.
Subscript format is used to denote a small letter, number, or symbol positioned slightly below the normal line of type, such as in chemical formulas (e.g., H2O). Superscript format is used for small characters, numbers, or symbols positioned slightly above the normal line of type, like in exponents (e.g., 2^3).
A superscript before the K (which is potassium) represents the atomic mass; a subscript before the K represents the atomic number. Therefore, 3919K represents "potassium-39", which is potassium's most abundant isotope. 4019K would represent "potassium-40", which is another, less abundant isotope of potassium.
