In a chemical equation the reactants appears to be on the left side. On the left you have the reactants and to the right you have the products.
Reactants are to the left in a chemical equation.
Balancing an equation is simply a matter of ensuring that the number of atoms of each specific element that you start with (reactants) are the same as the number that you wind up with (products) in the new arrangements or compounds that they form. And a subscript is the number written halfway below the line, to show how many atoms are in a given molecule; it does not appear (contrary to your assertion) in front of chemical symbols or formulas.
H2O2: Peroxide. 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O aka water. Use subscript next time (5 button from the left)
When balancing a chemical equation the reactants need to be balanced with the non-reactants. If you don't the formula will be produce negative results and you'll get the wrong answer.
the purpose of a subscript is to tell how many atoms of that chemical is used in the formulaThe number of atoms of the same element in the molecule ~APEX
The arrow between the reactants and products in a chemical equation represents the direction of the chemical reaction. It indicates that the reactants are being transformed into the products.
No. The reactants are written on the left of the arrow.
In a chemical equation the reactants appears to be on the left side. On the left you have the reactants and to the right you have the products.
Reactants are to the left in a chemical equation.
The reactants must be balanced correctly with reactants.
The reactants or what is being changed in the chemical equation.

They are on the left side of the equation with an arrow pointing to the substances being formed on the right side of the equation (the products).

It is important never to change a subscript {note correct spelling} in a chemical formula when balancing a chemical equation, because changing a subscript produces a formula that specifies a chemical substance different from the one in the original equation.
