Chemical Reactions

  • The chemical reaction is a process in which a chemical change takes place.
  • In a chemical reaction, atoms of the reactants are arranged to produce the products.
  •  A substance that enters into the chemical reaction are called reactant.
  • A substance that is produced by a chemical reaction is called product.
  • In a chemical reaction the atoms are neither created nor destroyed
  • When a chemical reaction takes place, there is always a change in the properties and the energy content of substances involved in the chemical reaction.
Questions:
  1.  Define Chemical reaction.
  2. Tell weather the following are true or false.
           a-In a chemical reaction the atoms are either created or destroyed.
           b-A substance that enters into the chemical reactions are called reactants.
     3.  To identify that a chemical reaction occurs, some changes are observed. What are these changes?
