Answer:
B. How many of each atom are present in the compound
D. the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other
Explanation:
In a chemical formula, chemical elements or atoms are represented by a chemical symbol for example Fe for iron and Na for sodium, and the number of each atom is represented by a subscript such as CO2, where 2 is a subscript representing 2 atoms of oxygen.
A subscript represents the number of each atom in the compound and the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other. The simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other means subscript shows the contribution of both the atoms in the compound, for example: N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3, it means the subscript showing the ratio or proportionate of atoms that is 2:2 for both nitrogen and hydrogen.
The subscript is always written below and to the right of the chemical symbol.
Hence, the correct answer is "B. How many of each atom are present in the compound and D. the simplified ratio of atoms in relation to each other"
Mg reducing agent and Cu oxidising agent.
