subscripts
subscripts are the cation superscripts are the anian
These subscripts are down the chemical symbol and at right. Example: O2
Chemical formulas are made of symbols representing elements and subscripts indicating the number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
Yes, different compounds made of the same elements can have different subscripts. The subscript in a chemical formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in the compound, so compounds with different structures or bonding arrangements can have different subscripts.
Do you mean subscripts like H2O (ie the 2 would be subscripted)?
subscripts can't be changed.
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.
You use subscripts to balance charges when writing a molecule's formula. Subscripts are used to indicate the number of each type of atom in the molecule, ensuring that the charges add up to zero.

halogens are represented the same way as alkaline metals, you can use subscripts
Balancing only allows you to change the coefficients, NOT the subscripts.
These subscripts are down the chemical symbol and at right. Example: O2
To write the formula for an ionic compound, you first write the symbol for the cation (positively charged ion) followed by the symbol for the anion (negatively charged ion). Then, you use subscripts to indicate the ratio of ions needed to balance the charges to make it electrically neutral. The subscripts are the smallest whole numbers that will ensure the compound has a net charge of zero.
No, when the subscripts are changed, they become different compounds than the intended compounds.
subscripts are like "brackets". and are used to show the number molecule or element used. for example: CO2 if u want to use subscrits u will write like this= C(O)2 another example would be Mg(OH)2.
