A chemical reaction is material changing from a beginning mass to
a resulting substance. In order to make new compounds.
Chemical equations are
written with the symbols of materials to include elements, ionic or covalent compounds, aqueous solutions, ions, or particles.
There is an arrow pointing to the right that indicates the action of the reaction or in other words yielding
(-->). The materials to the left of the arrow are the reactants, or materials that are going
to react. The materials to the right of the arrow are the products, or materials that have been
produced by the reaction.
