Solution

Reactant Product
The substances that react with one another are
called reactants. The new substances formed are called products.
Reactants are written on the left hand side of equation. Products are written on the right hand side of equation.
In the reaction $\underset{Hydrogen}{H_{2} (g)} + \underset{Oxygen}{O_{2} (g)} \to \underset{Water}{H_{2} O (l)}$ ,
Hydrogen( $H_{2}$ ) and Oxygen( $O_{2}$ ) are reactants.
In the reaction $\underset{Hydrogen}{H_{2} (g)} + \underset{Oxygen}{O_{2} (g)} \to \underset{Water}{H_{2} O (l)}$ ,
Water( $H_{2} O$ ) is a product.
