• The reactants and products are separated by a horizontal arrow pointing to the right. $(\to )$
• The products are placed on the right side of the chemical reaction.
• In the reaction, when Magnesium is oxidized, Magnesium oxide is formed as the new product.

$2\mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to 2\mathrm{MgO}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)$

Thus, the new substances produced in a reaction are called products.
