thats correct.

what are the subscripts called anyways?

Herra Tohtori · **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2008, 12:42:38 pm

Depends of the context, they can be used to notate the number of some atoms in a molecule, or particles in nuclei, as well as a indexes in maths, as well as many other things.

In text formatting context, they are just subscript and superscript text, nothing more special.

I don't believe there is a formal term for it.

Incidentally, there does exist a convention where typed molecular formuale are considered acceptable if the numerals are written as such: CO2, H2O. However, check with your individual instructor first. For that matter, MS Word is able to subscript individual characters in text: I believe it's found under Format - Paragraph. Select the appropriate characters and click the subscript checkbox.

well you see, it's for a program I'm writing. I it's supposed to help me do stoichemetry faster.

My advice is this: Use pen and paper. You'll gain a lot more practice by doing the reaction equations that way, and you don't need to waste time on making a program for it... and eventually you'll get fast enough in it that the difference to a computer program (to which you would need to manually feed the appropriate values anyway) becomes small enough to be practically insignificant.

Of course, that's assuming you aren't dealing with some complex protein reactions or other stuff like that...

well, they are pretty complex but, I am writing the program mostly just so I won't get rusty, while at the same time, making something useful.

Just curious, are you trying to write it for a computer or for one of the several graphing calculator models?

Topgun · **Reply #29 on:** July 26, 2008, 09:54:30 am

I am writing it for dos

.

I miss BASIC

I am using c++.
