Answer: 4 is the subscript in [tex]SiCl_{4}[/tex].
Explanation:
We know that,
Subscript: The number of atom present in a given compound.
In [tex]SiCl_{4}[/tex], 4 represents the number of chlorine atom in 1 mole of Silicon tetra chloride.
Coefficient: Number of atom which is used in reaction.
For example: In [tex]3SiCl_{4}[/tex], 3 is the coefficient of silicon tetra chloride.
A Product : In the balance equation, right hand side is called product.
A reactant : In the balance equation, left hand side is called reactant.
For example: the balance equation is
[tex]2Mg+O_{2}\rightarrow 2MgO[/tex]
In this equation, [tex]2Mg+O_{2}[/tex] is the reactants and [tex]2MgO[/tex] is products.
Hence, 4 is the subscript in [tex]SiCl_{4}[/tex].
