Balance the chemical reaction?

H2 + N2 = NH3

Balance the chemical equation for the reaction.

Which bonds are broken and which bonds are formed in the reaction?

**The 2's and the 3 are subscripts.**

I have about the worst science teacher ever and she didn't explain or go over a thing about chemical equation let alone balanced chemical equation. The chemistry book does nothing more than confuse me further so can anyone PLEASE help me answer the two questions?

Thanks!

    3H2+N2= 2NH3

    (First #3 and 3rd #2 are coefficients)

    2) N2 splits into 2 separate N's the 6 H's split and reform as 2(NH3)'s or ammonia

    it would be:

    3H2 + 1N2 = 2NH3

    The 2NH3 is formed so energy is released.
