Stoichiometry is the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction forming a compound, typically whole integer ratios (essentially the balancing numbers in an chemical symbol equation).
The word derives from the Greek word στοιχειομετρο, in which it means literally "element-metry".

The word derives from the Greek words: stoicheion (meaning "element") and metron (meaning "to measure"). Most often, stoichiometry calculations deal with the mass or volumes of products and reactants.
