A
CHEMICAL EQUATIONS
4
Q
REACTANTS
A
The chemical formula to the left of the arrow
5
Q
PRODUCTS
A
the substance produced to the right of the arrow
6
Q
The numbers in front of the formulas
A
THE COEFFICIENTS : indicate the relative numbers of molecules of each kind involved in the reaction.
There must be an equal number of atoms of each element on each side of the arrow= a balanced equation
