What are atoms and elements

An element is the simplest form of a substance. ... An atom is the part of an element. A particular element is composed of only one type of atom. Atoms are further composed of subatomic particles called electrons, protons and neutrons.

An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. An element is composed of atoms that have the same atomic number.

explanation:

crosscutting concepts have application across all domains of science. as such, they are a way of linking the different domains of science. they include patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change.

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
