Answer is: it is important because in that way chemist can see lowest possible number of reactants in chemical reaction needed to form product of reaction.  Coefficients with the lowest ratio indicate the relative amounts of substances in a reaction.
For example, chemical reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.
It can be seen that there are two molecules of hydrogen, one molecule of oxygen and molecule of water in reaction.

Read the following passage.
Archy [21]

Answer is: the discovery of sub atomic particles like electrons.

J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897.  

His "plum pudding" model (1904) suggested: the electrons are embedded in the positive charge.  

With this model, he abandoned his earlier hypothesis (the atom was composed of immaterial vortices).  

J.J. Thomson placed two oppositely charged electric plates around the cathode ray. He did experiments using different metals as electrode materials and found that the properties of the cathode ray remained constant no matter what cathode material he used.

Tomson concluded that atoms are divisible and that the corpuscles are their building blocks (atoms are made up of smaller particles).
