What happens if the subscripts in the chemical formula of a compound are changed while balancing a chemical equation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The chemical identity of the compound will change

Subscripts in a chemical formula show the number of atoms of each element in a compound. Changing a subscript changes the compound’s composition and chemical identity; for example, changing \(\mathrm{H_2O}\) to \(\mathrm{H_2O_2}\) changes water into hydrogen peroxide. To balance an equation, coefficients placed before formulae are changed, not subscripts.
