Key Concepts

Chemical Reaction

A chemical reaction is a process in which substances, known as reactants, undergo transformation to form new substances called products. This process often involves the breaking and forming of chemical bonds and is generally accompanied by energy changes in the form of heat or light.

Reactants

Reactants are the substances that are present at the beginning of a chemical reaction and participate in the transformation process. They are the starting materials that, when combined under the appropriate conditions, will react to yield products.

Products

Products are the substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction. They are the new compounds or elements produced after the reactants have undergone chemical changes during the reaction process.
