A balanced chemical equation is one that has the same number of atoms for each specific type of atom on both sides of the equation. Therefore, the correct description would be:

**It has the same number of atoms on both sides for each specific type of atom.**

This ensures that the law of conservation of mass is upheld, meaning that matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
