Solution

The correct option is A True
The representation of a chemical reaction by using symbols and formulae of the substances involved in the reaction is known as the chemical equation.
For example, in the equation, $H_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g) \to H_{2} O (l)$ there are two atoms of hydrogen and only one atom of oxygen on the LHS, whereas there are two atoms of hydrogen and only an atom of oxygen in the RHS. Such an equation is an unbalanced equation and is known as a skeletal equation.
Therefore, the skeletal equation tells us about the number of atoms of each element involved in the chemical reaction.
