The drawing is correct because there are 12 atoms of each type on each side of the arrow.
The number that represents the coefficient on the product side of the chemical reaction, is 7.
In equations representing chemical reactions, the coefficient of each reactant or product of a reaction is the number that comes on the left-hand side just before the chemical formula.
The coefficient of each species in a chemical reaction is obtainable when the equation of the reaction is balanced.
For example, in the following equation: 2A + B = 3C + D
The coefficients of A, B, C, and D are 2, 1, 3, and 1 respectively.
Applying this to the product side of a chemical reaction;
It means that the coefficient of the product is 7.
