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.
when I balance an equation, I do the right thing with the subscripts, which is far more complicated than "multiply" would indicate. Under certain special conditions, multiplication (and only multiplication) is the proper procedure, but not always (or even generally).
You add or change the coefficient, never the subscript or it becomes a completely different molecule.*cough 8th grade science*
Al + O2 will never yield Fe2O3.
:A balanced equation MUST have EQUAL numbers of EACH type of atom on BOTH sides of the arrow.An equation is balanced by changing coefficients in a somewhat trial-and-error fashion. It is important to note that only the coefficients can be changed, NEVER a subscript.

No because you always keep an equation in balance when solving it
Subscripts state how many atoms and Coefficients state how many molecules there are. So when balancing an equation you always adjust the coefficients. When this equation is balanced, what is the coefficient for Ni(NOËÄ)ËÄ? 4
To balance a chemical equation, you can change the coefficients (number of molecules). Remember: You cannot change the subscripts.When we balance an equation we change the number of atoms on one or both sides of the equation by means of simple mathematical calculation. That is, we change the number of molecules of one or more reactants or products. When the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation, and cannot be reduced equally, the balancing process is complete.

false
An example of an equation that will always equal 12 is x=12. x will never change and will always be equivalent to 12.
There has to be the same numbers and types of elements on both sides of the equation. This is accomplished by adding coefficients in front of the chemical formulas as needed. Never change a formula when balancing an equation.
Constants are the what is "set" or "constant" in an equation. They will never change. For example, pi is a constant. It will never change from being 3.14.... All numbers are considered constants.
