It actually means "reacts to form".
reacting to form
If it reproduces.
it basically means = for example if you have C+O2-->CO2 the arrow seperates the product from the reactents
it means crystalline
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.

It sort of means 'equals', but more correctly means 'gives' or 'produces'
it basically means = for example if you have C+O2-->CO2 the arrow seperates the product from the reactents
When writing a chemical equation, an arrow pointing up would indicate that a gas is going to bubble out of the solution. An arrow pointing down indicates that some product will precipitate out of the solution.
It means heat was supplied to make the reaction occur.
Arrow means creates or yield(s) IE: Na + Cl ---> NaCl Sodium and Chlorine create/yield sodium chloride
when you see an arrow on a scientific equation it means yield

it means crystalline
A double arrow shows that the reaction is reversible, it represents an equilibrium in which the products on the right can react together and produce the left hand side. A chemical equation without a double arrow isn't reversible and can only go in one direction.
