Study Notes

Reactants and Products in Chemical Reactions

Reactants are substances (elements or compounds) that undergo a chemical change during a reaction.
Products are the new substances formed from the transformation of reactants in a chemical reaction.

Identifying Reactants and Products

Reactants are located on the left side of a chemical equation, representing the initial substances.
Products are found on the right side of a chemical equation, indicating what results from the reaction.

Differences between Reactants and Products

Reactants undergo changes during a chemical reaction, leading to the formation of products.
Generally, reactants are consumed in the reaction, while products are produced.

Everyday Examples

Photosynthesis is a common example where plants convert carbon dioxide and water (reactants) into glucose and oxygen (products), illustrating the critical role of chemical reactions in nature.

Chemical Equations

A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction using symbols and formulas, with reactants on the left and products on the right.
