Answer» (a) Reactants and products Reactants 1. The substances that react with one another are called reactants. 2. Reactants are written on the left-hand side of the equation. Products 1. The new substances formed are called products. 2. Products are written on the right-hand side of equation. (b) A balanced and an unbalanced chemical equation Balanced chemical 1. A balanced chemical reaction is the one in which the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of that element on the product side. 2. Ex- H2 + Cl2 → HCl Unbalanced chemical 1. Number of elements on reactant side is not equal to the number of elements on the product side. 2. Ex- H 2 + Cl2 → 2HCl |
