Do subscripts represent the relative mass of each type of atom in the compound?
No, subscripts in a chemical formula represent the number of atoms of each element in the compound. The relative mass of each atom is accounted for by the atomic mass of the element found in the periodic table. So, atomic mass, not subscripts, gives you the relative mass of each type of atom in a compound.
Subscript and symbol how are they alike?
Subscripts and symbols are both elements used in mathematics to represent specific values or variables within an expression or equation. Subscripts are used to distinguish between different variables with similar names, while symbols are used to represent mathematical operations or relationships. Both are essential in conveying mathematical information clearly and concisely.

Do the subscripts in a chemical formula represent the relative mass of each atom in a chemical compound?
It usually represent the amount of atoms in a molecule, i.e. Na2CO3 + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO2 +H2O So, in the first compound, there are 2 sodium atoms, one carbon atom and 3 oxygen atoms. In water, there is one hydrogen atom and 2 oxygen atoms..
