Question

State true or false.

In a chemical equation, the products are written on the left-hand side and the reactants on the right-hand side with an arrow in between.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

It is the convention to place the reactants on the left side of a chemical equation and the products on the right side.

The arrow between the reactants and products should point from left to right or if the reaction is proceeding both ways, point in both directions.

Hence, it is a false statement.

Correct statement should be:

In a chemical equation, the $reactants$ are written on the left-hand side and the $products$ on the right-hand side with an arrow in between.

Reactants $\to$ Products
