Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The subscripts in a chemical formula represent the mole to mole ratio of the elements in the formula. They indicate the number of atoms or ions of each element present in the compound, relative to the number of atoms or ions of other elements present. The gram to gram ratio (A), amu to amu ratio (B), charges of each ion (D), and molar mass of each element (E) are not typically represented by the subscripts in a chemical formula.
