The vertical alignment depends on the ascent/descent of the nucleus. I
guess that {Ge}^33 is not the same as Ge^33.
Correct. For an example, type Ge_33 Ge^44 _33
(You should get a Ge with a 33 subscript, and a Ge with
both a subscript and a superscript.)
The only difference here is that one _33 hangs off Ge, and
the other _33 hangs off Ge^44. Notice how they end up
at different heights.
Similiarly, a subscript hanging off another subscript goes
deeper down, a superscript on a large bracket goes higher
up than the subscript on "Ge" and so on.
