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.
To type small numbers for chemical formulas and exponents, you can use the subscript and superscript functions in most text editors or word processing software. In HTML, you can use for subscript and for superscript. You can also use keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+= (for superscript) and Ctrl+Shift+= (for subscript) on some platforms.
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 .
The easiest way would be to learn superscript and subscript shortcuts. For eg: Sulphuric acid is H2SO4. Now highlight 2 and control+command+ minus shortcut makes it a subscript. Repeat it for every element.
Changing a subscript in a chemical formula or equation alters the identity of the element or compound being referred to. For example, changing the subscript in H2O to H2O2 changes the compound from water to hydrogen peroxide, signifying a different chemical composition and properties. It is important to follow the correct subscript ratios to accurately represent chemical formulas.
The number representing the charge in an ion is not written in subscript in a chemical formula.

Subscript
The number of atoms of the same element in the molecule

Subscripts are most familiar to use in the writing of chemical formulas such as H2O -- the 2 should be a subscript -- and in mathematics you will see variables with subscripts.
its usually indicated by a subscript! :D

Ah, what a happy little question! To create a little 2 for chemical formulas in Microsoft Word, you can use the superscript feature. Simply type the number you want as a superscript, highlight it, then go to the "Home" tab, click on the "Superscript" button, and voilà, you've got yourself a cute little 2 for your chemical formulas! Just a few simple steps to bring some joy to your documents.
The subscript Number of atoms of that element in the molecule.
The subscript in a chemical formula represents the amount of that atom in that compound's formula.
No, the oxidation number is a hypothetical charge assigned to an atom in a compound or ion based on a set of rules, while the subscript in a chemical formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in the compound. They serve different purposes in chemical notation.
