Balance supplied reactions with exact integer coefficients and verify atom and explicit-charge conservation.
Useful to know
Can this answer every science question?
No. Each model has stated limits. Use structured fields when a prose question is unsupported. It does not predict reaction products or provide experiment procedures.
Are these official curriculum mappings?
No. These are concept-based resources. KICD and legacy KCSE mappings remain under review; no endorsement is claimed.
Where are my inputs stored?

Science learning notes
Conserve atoms without changing formulae
Chemical balancing changes coefficients in front of species. Subscripts stay fixed because changing them changes the substance. Each element, and charge for explicit ionic species, must have the same total on both sides.
Example: Fe + O2 -> Fe2O3
Common mistake: Do not change O₂ to O₃ to make the numbers match.
Does a balanced equation prove a reaction occurs?
No. Conservation is necessary but says nothing about feasibility, rate, conditions or how to perform an experiment.
