These are the substances that start the reaction and are used up to form new substances. found on the left side of the arrow.
What is reactant?
Tells you if the equation if balanced/ conserved.
If the number of atoms in the product side is equal to the reactants the atom are?
How many atoms are in H₂O?
What is 3 atoms? (2 H, 1 O)
This sign indicates the direction of the reaction, and separates reactants from products.
What is arrow?
Is the equation H₂ + O₂ → H₂O balanced as written?
What is no?
Tells you the number of molecules of a given substance in a chemical equation. Hint: you multiply it by the subscript
What is coefficient?
Is C + O₂ → CO₂ already balanced?
What is yes?
How many atoms are in NaCl₂?
