Explanation:
Usually, when we write a chemical formula for any compound or other chemical specie, we use subscripts to;
- Indicate the ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound or chemical specie
- Show the number of atoms of each element present in the compound or chemical specie.
Hence, the subscripts written after chemical formulas have more than one function as described above.
In H2SO4 for instance, there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulphur atom and four oxygen atoms as shown in the chemical formula.
