Crap! i've seen this one! can't remember the answer (too much science to remember!) but i know how it works
Answer coming soon.
Answer
It becomes true when the addends are replaced with the chemical symbol of that atomic number...
16 = S (Sulfur)
53 = I (Iodine)
3 = Li (Lithium)
27 = Co (Cobalt)
7 = N (Nitrogen)
...and the sum is replaced with the element name, not symbol, that has that atomic number.
So the equation would in fact look like this:
S + I + Li + Co + N = Silicon

yah that's the science i couldn't remember!
