Solution

An unbalanced equation is known as a skeletal equation.

For example,

$H_{2} + C l_{2} \to H C l$ is the skeletal equation.

Balancing it,

$∵$ there are 2 atoms of both hydrogen and chlorine in the reactants side, multiply $H C l$ by 2.

$H_{2} + C l_{2} \to 2 H C l$

This is the balanced equation.
