Question

Give a one-word answer.
Name the term used to represent the substances formed in a chemical reaction.

Answer 1

1. Chemical reaction: A chemical reaction is in which the bonds are broken within reactant molecules, and new bonds are formed within product molecules to form a new substance.
2. Reactants: The substances which take part in a chemical reaction are called reactants.
3. Products: The substances which are formed after a chemical reaction are called reactants.
4. Example:

$$\begin{gathered} 2{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to 2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right) \\ \mathrm{Hydrogen}\mathrm{Oxygen}\mathrm{Water} \end{gathered}$$

5. In this reaction, Hydrogen, and oxygen are reactants and water is the product.

6. Hence, the term used to represent the substances formed in a chemical reaction is a product.
