We usually think of chemical reactions as reactions becoming products. Reality is that products can also become reactants by a reverse reaction. A two-directional arrow indicates that the "forward" and "reverse" reactions exist in a certain balance, or equilibrium.

∙ 12y agoA two-direction arrow in a chemical equation means that an equilibrium is established and the reaction goes both ways, resulting no no net change.

∙ 11y agoThe "double arrow" means that the product of each side can go both ways. H20+0=H2+02, for example. The equation symbol is in replacement of the arrow.

Does the arrow in a chemical equation mean gives?
yeah,the arrow in chemical equation directing from left to right implied the that reactants combine to form a product on the right.
What does a two direction arrow indicate in a chemical equation?
It indicates that the reaction can proceed in both directions. It could also mean that the reactions are in a dynamic equilibrium.

What does a double arrow mean when it is used between the reactants and the products in a chemical equation?
That the reaction can go (start/conclude with) either way.
What does s with arrow straight down mean?
It may mean a precipitate in a chemical reaction. Modern usage puts s in brackets in the equation after a solid formed in a reaction, but the older way was to put a downwards arrow there.
What do the arrows mean an a scientific equation?
when you see an arrow on a scientific equation it means yield
In a chemical equation what does (I) mean?
probably chemical reaction

if you mean symbol equation its C6H1206
