The numbers placed in ​ (a)   of formulas to balance equations are called ​ (b)   , and they multiply all the atoms in a ​ (c)   . Thus, the symbol “2NaHCO₃” indicates ​ (d)   units of sodium bicarbonate, which contain 2 Na atoms, 2 H atoms, 2 C atoms, and 6 O atoms

(2 X 3= 6, the coefficient times the subscript for O).
