Chemical reactions are processes where substances transform into new materials with different properties. This chapter explores how we identify, represent, and classify chemical reactions. A chemical reaction occurs when the bonds between atoms break and new bonds form, creating entirely new substan
Key Concepts
A chemical reaction is a process
A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances (reactants) transform into one or more different substances (products). During this t
A chemical equation is a symbolic
A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formulae and symbols. It shows reactants on the left side (LHS)
Balancing a chemical equation means adjusting
Balancing a chemical equation means adjusting coefficients (numbers placed before chemical formulae) so that the number of atoms of each element is eq
A combination reaction occurs when two
A combination reaction occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product. The general form is: A + B → AB. Examples include: (1) Burn
A decomposition reaction is the opposite
A decomposition reaction is the opposite of a combination reaction—a single reactant breaks down into two or more simpler products. The general form i
