Chemical Reaction: A process in which one or more substances (reactants) undergo a
chemical change to form new substances (products) with entirely different physical and
chemical properties.
Reactants: The substances that take part in a chemical reaction, usually written on the
left-hand side (LHS) of an equation.
Products: The new substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction, usually
written on the right-hand side (RHS) of an equation.
Chemical Equation: The symbolic representation of a chemical reaction using symbols
and formulae of the substances involved.
Balanced Chemical Equation: An equation where the number of atoms of each
element is equal on both the reactant and product sides, satisfying the Law of
Conservation of Mass.
Skeletal Chemical Equation: An unbalanced chemical equation where the mass is not
the same on both sides of the arrow.
