Hey there!

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

This is a balanced chemical equation.

There are 2 atoms of sodium (Na) on the left, and 2 atoms of sodium (Na) on the right.

There are 2 atoms of chlorine (Cl) on the left, and 2 atoms of chlorine (Cl) on the right.

This means the equation is balanced since there are the same amount of each element on both sides.

Hope this helps!
