Explanation A chemical species is given by A M B N ,where A , B are the symbols of the elements and M , N are the number of atoms of the same element that are present in the same molecule (atomicity). In the question diagram,green spheres represent chlorine atoms, yellow-green spheres represent fluorine atoms and white spheres represent hydrogen atoms. In reactant picture there are 2 different types of molecules. 1 s t type : A = H , B = C l and M = 1 , N = 1 .So, formula H C l . 2 n d type: A = F , M = 2 . So, formula F 2 . So, formula of reactants = F 2 , H C l In given product picture, there are 4 molecules of hydrogen fluoride. So, A = H , B = F and M = 1 , N = 1 . So, formula of product is H F . Similarly, there are 2 molecule of chlorine, A = C l and M = 2 . So, formula of product is C l 2 . So, formula of products: C l 2 , H F General rule for a balanced equation is that the number of individual atoms in the reactant (left hand side) side must be equal to the number of individual atoms in the product side (right hand side). General reaction before balancing: F 2 ( g ) + H C l ( g ) → C l 2 ( g ) + H F ( g ) Number of F on reactant side = 2 , Number of F on product side = 1 Number of H on reactant side = 1 , Number of H on product side = 1 Number of C l on reactant side = <
