What will happen if the wrong chemical symbol or formula is used in a chemical equation?

Then the products that should be created will be wrong and it might not be balanced.
For example:
If I was meant to use
Mg (Magnesium)+H2SO4 (Sulphuric acid)---> MgSO4+H2 (Magnesium Sulphate + Hydrogen)
Now, if I did it wrong and put 'M' for magnesium instead of Mg this is what would happen:
M+H2SO4---> MSO4+H2. Now, the product 'MSO4' does not exsist. M is not an element, neither is MS. Or neither is MSO.
Making the equation completely wrong.
