The arrow is read as "produces" or "yields."
The arrow is an indication for the sense of reaction.
the products are on the side with the arrow pointing at them and are divided by a plus sign, and the product is on the side the arrow is not pointin to! SCIENCE SUCKS!!!
If it's pointing right, it can be read as the English phrase "react to form". If it's pointing left, it's "is formed by the reaction of". If it's a double arrow, "is in equilibrium with".
It reads as "Yields." The equation is set up as (reactants) (Yield Sign) (Products).
The arrow represents 'yields' as in "CH4 + 2O2 yields CO2 + 2H2O"
produces
A chemical equation is defined as the short-hand representation of a true chemical reaction with the help of symbols and formula.A chemical equation is formed by reactants and products.Products of a chemical equation always follow after the arrow
In a correctly written chemical equation, reactants are the substances to the left of the arrow, and products are the substances to the right of the arrow. The reactants are what you have before the reaction starts, and the products are what you have when the reaction is over.
No, on the right of the arrow in a chemical reaction is called a product. The reactant is on the left.
to the right
