A "balanced" equation.
If the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, then it is balanced.
In this case, the equation is balanced.
The number of reactants atoms must be equal to the number of products atoms.
the number and type of atoms of reactant and product are the same
If the equation has the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the arrow, it is balanced. If the number of atoms on each side of the arrow is not the same, the equation is not balanced. For example, in the equation H2 + O2 -->H2O, there are two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on the left, and two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom on the right. Therefore, the equation is not balanced. However, in the equation 2H2 + O2 -->2H2O, there are four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on the left and four hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms on the right, so the equation is balanced.

Make sure that the number of atoms on the left side of the equation is the same as the number of atoms on the right side.For example: -H + O2 --> H2O This is not a balanced equation because there is more oxygen and less hydrogen on the left side of the equation then is needed on the right side.4H + O2 --> 2H2O This equation is balanced because there is 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation.
Atoms
same number of each element
A "balanced" equation.
this is called having a balanced equation .....if both sides are not balanced u must correct it by changing the number of moles
