A subscript tells
the charge.
the number of atoms (or group of atoms, if in parentheses).
how many molecules are present.
the number of protons.
Coefficients are
the large numbers that go in front of a chemical formula; they indicate how many moles or molecules/formula units are present.
the large numbers that go in front of a chemical formula; they indicate the charge.
the small dropped numbers inside a formula; they indicate how many of that atom is present in a molecule.
the small dropped numbers inside a formula; they indicate how many moles or molecules/formula units are present.
Why do we balance equations?
For math practice
Because the same number of atoms are present before and after a reaction--they are just rearranged.
To show how many atoms are lost or gained during a reaction.
To see whether the chemical reaction is possible.

Up arrow means gas reactant
Down arrow means solid reactant
Arrows both directions mean reversible reaction
Triangle under arrow means heated reaction
Up arrow means gas product
Down arrow means solid product
Arrows both directions mean reversible reaction
Triangle under arrow means combustible reaction
Up arrow means gas product
Down arrow means solid reactant
Arrows both directions mean failed reaction
Triangle under arrow means combustible reaction

What role does oxygen play in combustion?
It is a reactant from the air.
It is a product.
It is both a product and a reactant.
It is not needed for combustion to occur, although it is sometimes present.
Diatomics exist in pairs
always, both when the element is by itself and when it is part of a compound
when the element is by itself but not necessarily when it is part of a compound
when the element is part of a compound but not when it is by itself
only if the compound has a positive charge
