2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O
This equation is BALANCED on both sides.
Notice that there are 4 Hydrogens and 2 Oxygens on each side.
The full-size numbers to the LEFT of the elements/compounds are called COEFFICIENTS and are the ONLY VALUES YOU CAN CHANGE.
The small numbers to the right of the elements are called SUBSCRIPTS and MUST STAY THE SAME in the equation.

In this example, we want the number of Mg (Magnesium) on the LEFT of the arrow to be the same on the RIGHT of the arrow.
We also want the number of O (Oxygen) to be the same number on both the LEFT and RIGHT of the arrow.

Once we count up the Mg and O on both sides, we can see what needs to change.
We CANNOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY.
We can ONLY ADD using coefficients.
You'll see this done in the next slide...
