Symbols are used for the graphical representation of a chemical reaction.
This representation is a chemical equation.

Chemical equations are used to show what happens during a chemical reaction. They demonstrate the reactants that are used, the products that are formed, and the balanced relationship between them. Symbols and formulas represent the different elements and compounds involved in the reaction.
A chemical equation is the statement that uses chemical formulas to show the identities and relative amounts involved in a chemical reaction. It typically consists of reactants on the left side and products on the right side, separated by an arrow indicating the direction of the reaction.
The uses of chemical formulas are mainly to show how the various elements are in any compound. This will indicate how a particular chemical reaction takes place.
Chemical equations are used to represent reactions; they consist of chemical formulas for the reactants and products, along with arrows indicating the direction of the reaction. Other symbols may include (+) to separate reactants or products, and coefficients to represent the amount of molecules involved.
Writing a chemical reaction with symbols: Ex.: NaCl + AgNO3 = AgCl (s) + NaNO3 A mathematical (digital) system for the writing of chemical equations exist but it is rarely used.
It is called a chemical equation. The reactantsengage in a chemical change and result in different chemical products being created. Some reactions have catalystswhich undergo no net change after the reaction.
It depends on the reaction. Also, only the products are produced by a chemical reaction; the reactants produce the reaction and are changed in the reaction to the products. (If you have a chemical equation, the number of distinct molecules and/or isolated element symbols on the right side of the equation will show how many distinct products are formed in the reaction.)
A chemical formula is a shorthand that uses symbols to represent the elements in a compound and show their ratios. For example, the chemical formula for water is H2O, indicating that it is made up of two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom.
The model that names all the chemicals in a reaction is called the chemical equation. It represents the reactants, products, and their respective symbols and formulas in a balanced format to show the chemical changes that occur during the reaction.
This combination of symbols is known as a chemical formula.
