To balance the chemical equation above, we need to make use of coefficients. A coefficient is a number that we place in front of a chemical formula. In the chemical equation, to make the number of nitrogen (N) atoms equal on both sides, first, we place a coefficient of 2 in front of NH3. Once we do that, the number of nitrogen (N) atoms on both sides is balanced.
3C12H22O11 represents 3 molecules of sucrose (table sugar). The numbers that appear in front of the symbols and formulas above are called coefficients. The coefficients tell us the number of atoms (for chemical symbols) or molecules (for molecular formulas) that we are dealing with. The small numbers that appear somewhat below the chemical symbols within chemical formulas are called subscripts. The subscripts tell us how many atoms of each element are in the molecule. For both coefficients and subscripts, we generally don't write their value when it is equal to 1, because a 1 is understood if no coefficient or subscript is written.
