Chemical Reaction

The process of breaking old binding force and the formation of new binding force in product is called chemical reaction. This note is about an introduction on chemical reaction.

Summary

The process of breaking old binding force and the formation of new binding force in product is called chemical reaction. This note is about an introduction on chemical reaction.

Things to Remember

  • The process of breaking old binding force and the formation of new binding force in product is called chemical reaction.
  • Those chemicals which go under chemical change themselves during chemical reactions are called reactants.
  • Those chemicals which are formed as a result of chemical reaction are called products.

Chemical Reaction

Chemical Reaction

Chemical Reaction: The process of breaking old binding force of reactants and the formation of new binding force in theproduct is called chemical reaction. It is the process by which one or more substances are arranged to form different substances.

Chemical Equation: The symbolic representation of actual chemical reaction in terms of words or molecular formula is called chemical equation.

Reactants and Products

Reactants: Those chemicals which go under chemical change themselves during chemical reactions are called reactants.

Products: Those chemicals which are formed as a result of chemical reaction are called products.

Points to remember

  • In a chemical equation, reactants and products are separated by an arrow (→).
  • Reactants are written in the left side of arrow and products are written on the right hand side of the arrow as in figure 3(a).
  • In the reversible reaction, reactants and products are separated by two way arrow ( ).
