Q

Which numbers are the coefficient and subscript?

A

coefficient is the letter in front
Subscript is the smaller number

17
Q

How do we interpret if an equation is balanced or not?

A

When their is unequal numbers of atoms it is unbalnced
If there is a equal number of atoms it is balanced

18
Q

Why is it important to balance chemical equations?

A

There must be the same number of atoms of each element

19
Q

How are periodic tables arranged?

A

The elements are arranged in increasing order by atomic number

Q

What can the atomic number indicate?

A

The number of protons and electrons

Q

What are the rules about atom shells?

A

Start from the inner shell and build outwards

Q

Explain photosynthesis

A

Photosynthesis is when energy is changed to chemical energy in plant cells.
