Exercise 7

Uses of Subscript, Superscript and Symbols

The most familiar example of subscript is in chemical formulas. For example, the formula for glucose is C 6H12O6
(Meaning that is a molecule with 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms).

A subscript can also distinguish between different versions of a subatomic particle. Thus, electrons, muon and tau
neutrinos are denoted VeVT. A particle may be distinguished by multiple subscript, such as Ω- bbb for the triple bottom
omega particle.

Also in mathematics and computing, subscript can be used to present the radix or base, of a written number, especially
where multiple bases are used alongside each other. For example, comparing values in hexadecimal, denary and octal
one might write Chex = 12dec = 14oct

In mathematics, superscripts are used to indicate that one number or variable is raised to the power of another number
or variable. The y4 is y raised to the fourth power, 2x is raised to the power of x, and the famous equation E=mc 2 includes
a term for the speed of light squared.

Atomic isotopes are written using superscripts. In symbolic form, from the number of nucleons is denoted as a
superscripted prefix to the chemical symbol (for example 3He, 12C, 13C, 131I and 238U) the letters m of f may follow the
number to indicated fission isomers, as in 58Co or 2401Pu.

Requirements:

1. Save your activity inside your folder under the file name Lastname_Exercise7
2. On the page set up, select a short bond paper. Change the margin into 2.0 on four sides
3. Type the paragraph above to perform a subscript, superscript style and inserting symbols on the page.
4. Place the paragraph title at the center of the page and put in caps lock mode.
5. Select all of the text except the title. Set up using the following format: Verdana, 15 font size, justify alignment.
6. Apply yellow text highlight color to the text which has a subscript, superscript and symbols.
