When balancing a chemical equation do the subscripts move with the element or stay? would this example be right or wrong?

Ba (NO₃) ₂+Na₂SO₄⇒BaSO₄+Na₂ (NO₃) ₂

this already looks balanced so what am I doing wrong?

    Sodium Nitrate is written as NaNO (sub3) that is what is throwing you off in this equation.

    Take the subscript of 2 off of the sodium in the products and give Sodium Nitrate a coefficient of 2 to balance the equation.
