Because the chemical symbol is already there, the 1 is assumed.
The number representing the charge in an ion is not written in subscript 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.
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.
To answer this kind of question, all that is required is to add the subscripts that appear immediately after the atomic symbol of the atom in question, remembering that if there is no explicitly written subscript, a subscript of 1 is implied. In this instance, the symbol for hydrogen occurs twice, once with a subscript of 4 and once with a subscript of 3. Therefore, there are 4+3 or 7 hydrogen atoms in the formula unit.
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.

The number representing the charge in an ion is not written in subscript in a chemical formula.
As an exponent, it's written 362 . As a subscript, it would be written 362 .

A subscript is below the line, as in 52 or 5x; a superscript is above the line: 52.
The calcium ion is Ca2+ and the hydride ion is H-. So, the subscript for the Ca is 1 and the subscript for H is 2. The formula unit is CaH2. The subscript 1 for Ca is not written. When there is no subscript it is understood to be 1.

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.
A subscript is something written below the line.
The subscript 4 should be written to the right of the symbol for fluorine in the compound dinitrogen tetrafluoride, which is N2F4.
