A coefficient is the number that goes before an element when your balancing the equation. And a subscript is the number after the element. Subscripts are not changed when you balance the equation.
A subscript is a number written below and to the right of a chemical symbol in a formula and a coefficient is a number that is placed in front of a chemical symbol or formula
The coefficient is a count of the number of molecules of each substance in a chemical process. The subscript is the number of atoms of an element in each molecule.
The coefficient applies to all of the elements in the compound whereas the subscript applies to only the select elements; unless the subscript follows parenthesis, in which case it applies to all elements inside. ==========================================================Hope it helped! Thanks for voting!
In chemical formulas, a subscript number signifies the number of atoms of the specified element in a molecule. For example, H2O (where the "2" is subscript) is the formula for water and represents 2 hydrogen atoms combined with 1 atom of oxygen.

Something under the text is called subscript. For example, H2O. Something above the text is called superscript. For example, 22 = 4. That's it. Hope your doubt is clear.
The subscripts tell you how the atoms are bound together. The coefficient tells you how many atoms there are.
