Answer:

Subscript

Step-by-step explanation:

The little number you see to the right of the symbol for an element is called a subscript. That number indicates the number of atoms of that element present in the compound. When balancing an equation, you can change the coefficients but not the subscripts.

hope this helps! if not, it's got to be coefficient or equation
