The chemical reaction of oxygen with other substances is called oxidation.
Mechanical weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without altering their chemical composition, usually by processes such as frost wedging or root expansion. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, involves changes in the chemical composition of rocks due to reactions with substances like water, acid rain, or oxygen, leading to the breakdown of minerals.
The reactants are the substances that undergo the chemical reaction, and are shown on the left side of a chemical equation. The products are produced by the chemical reaction, and are shown on the right side of the chemical equation.
Another name for chemical change is chemical reaction.
Starting substances in a chemical reaction are called reactants. Reactants are the substances that undergo chemical changes in a reaction to form new products. These reactants interact with each other through a series of chemical reactions that alter their chemical structures to create the final products.

Weathering of rocks can involve both chemical and physical changes. Physical weathering involves the breakdown of rocks without changing their chemical composition, while chemical weathering involves the alteration of a rock's chemical composition through reactions with water, air, or other substances.
No, the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide with other substances is not called oxidation. Oxidation is the process of losing electrons, leading to an increase in oxidation state. The reaction of carbon dioxide with other substances may involve carboxylation or other specific chemical reactions.
Chemical weathering is primarily started by the presence of water and acidic substances, such as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which can react with minerals in rocks to break them down. Other factors, like temperature changes, biological activity, and the presence of certain minerals, can also influence the rate of chemical weathering.
* Reactants: the initial compounds in a chemical reaction. * Products: the final compounds in a chemical reaction. * Catalyst: a chemical compound which help the chemical reaction but not react with the other compounds.
Substances like oil and water can mix without undergoing a chemical reaction, forming a mixture. Similarly, sugar and water can dissolve into each other without a chemical reaction occurring. These are physical changes where the substances retain their original properties.
A chemical reaction causes substances to combine in different ways to make other substances.
