1. Chemical Reactions and Chemical Equations

  • A chemical reaction takes place when the identity and nature of the initial substance change.
  • Common signs of a chemical reaction are change in state, change in colour, evolution of a gas, and change in temperature.
  • A word equation writes reactants on the left-hand side and products on the right-hand side with an arrow between them.
