Chemical Reactions

The substances that undergo change in a chemical reaction.

• products

• reactants

• catalyst

• chemical equation

The new substances formed as a result of the change in a chemical reaction.

• products
• reactants
• catalyst
• chemical equation

A representation of a chemical reaction in which the reactants and products are expressed as formulas.

• products
• reactants
• catalyst
• chemical equation

The numbers that appear before the formulas.

• products
