subscripts in chemical formulas
The law of multiple proportions explains that when two elements form more than one compound, the masses (and thus the relative number of atoms) of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other are in small whole-number ratios — which corresponds to whole-number subscripts in chemical formulas.
