Is the subscript a small number written above a letter or number?
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.
What is the number 2 in the formula for hydrogen called?
H2O The little 2 is a subscript that tells you that there are 2 Hydrogen atoms in the compound. There is no 1 after the Oxygen because if there is no subscript, there is an understood 1 atom in the compound.
What is the chemical formula for water?
H2O is the chemical formula for water.
How many atoms of Hydrogen are present in a water molecule?
It is common knowledge that the chemical formula for water is H2O. In chemical formulae, subscripts apply to the letters that they go after. So there are 2 Hydrogens in a single water molecules.
What is the formula for lithium hydrogen phosphate.?
The formula for lithium hydrogen phosphate is Li2HPO4.
What does subscript indicate in a chemical formula?
The number of atoms of the same element in the molecule
The subscript in a chemical formula refers to the?
The subscript in a chemical formula refers to the _____.
What does a subscript in a chemical formula represents?
The subscript in a chemical formula represents the amount of that atom in that compound's formula.
In a chemical formula what is used to indicate the number of atoms of each element?
It is called a subscript. For example: In the formula for water (H2O), 2 is the subscript indicating that there are 2 hydrogen atoms in the compound .
Examples of a chemical formula?
subscript
what number represents the subscript in the formula shown?
The letter or letters that represent an element are called its atomic symbol. The numbers appearing as subscripts in the chemical formula indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript. If no subscript appears, one atom of that element is present.
how should you indicate that there are multiple polyatomic ions in a chemical formula?
put parentheses around the atoms in the ion and then add a subscript - apex
What does the subscript 2 indicate in the formula?
there are two atoms in the molecule
Do you have to use subscript in chemical formulas?
Not every chemical formula requires subscript. For example table salt is NaCl, sodium chloride. No subscript. But most chemical formulae do require subscript, such as water, H2O.
Why is Fe balanced with coefficient of 3 instead of a subscript of 3?
The subscript is mentioned only in a chemical formula.3 FeCl3 in a chemical reaction is not similar to Fe3O4 in a chemical formula.
What is a subscript and where is it located in a chemical formula?
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.
What does a subscript show in a chemical formula?
The subscript in a chemical formula represents the amount of that atom in that compound's formula.
