Overview

Chemical reactions are fundamental processes that occur all around us in daily life. When milk sours, iron rusts, food cooks, or we breathe, chemical reactions are taking place. A chemical reaction involves the transformation of one or more substances (reactants) into new substances (products) with

Key Concepts

A process in which one

A process in which one or more substances undergo chemical change to form new substances with different properties. Signs include change in color, sta

A symbolic representation of a chemical

A symbolic representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formulae. Shows reactants on the left, products on the right, separated by an arrow. M

An equation where the number

An equation where the number of atoms of each element is equal on both reactant and product sides, following the law of conservation of mass.

A reaction where two or more

A reaction where two or more substances combine to form a single product. Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O. Often exothermic.

A reaction where a single reactant

A reaction where a single reactant breaks down into two or more simpler products. Can be thermal, electrolytic, or photolytic. Often endothermic.
