Question

question 14 of 25 what does a subscript indicate in a chemical formula? a. the number of atoms of that element in the molecule b. the atomic number of the element in the molecule c. the position in the molecule that element occupies d. the number of bonds that element forms in the molecule

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, a subscript is used to show the number of atoms of a particular element within a molecule. For example, in $H_2O$, the subscript 2 on hydrogen indicates there are 2 hydrogen atoms. The atomic number is given by the element symbol's identity and not by a subscript. The subscript doesn't show position or number of bonds.

Answer:

A. The number of atoms of that element in the molecule
