'When a chemical equation is balanced, the number of molecules of each type on both sides of the equation is equal?'

This statement isn't completely correct since it should write: ’When a chemical equation is balanced, the number of ATOMS of each type on both sides of the equation is equal.’\textbf{'When a chemical equation is balanced, the number of ATOMS of each type on both sides of the equation is equal.'}

This is a requirement the equation must satisfy to be consistent with the law of conservation of matter. It may be confirmed by simply summing the numbers of atoms on either side of the arrow and comparing these sums to ensure they are equal. The number of atoms for a given element is calculated by multiplying the coefficient of any formula containing that element by the element’s subscript in the formula. If an element appears in more than one formula on a given side of the equation, the number of atoms represented in each must be computed and then added together.
