What symbol is used to show that a chemical reaction goes in both directions?

Answer 1

I can't draw it using this font and I can't copy it from paste, so here is a description.

The top is the top half of an arrow pointing from left to right.

The bottom is the bottom half of an arrow pointing from right to left.

This signifies that not only do reactants produce products but also products react to form the starting rectants.

Answer 2

An arrow that points in both directions.... probably in your text book if you looked.

<----------------->
A reversible reaction is denoted by a double arrow pointing both directions in a chemical equation.

Answer 3

Answer 5

An arrow in both directions for a chemical reaction states that the reaction occurs in both directions (Guch, 2011, p. 169).

Answer 6

The symbol for a reversible reaction is a line with an arrow on both sides. This double arrow can be used to point towards two different items that can be reversed in a chemical formula.

Answer 7

Cant Find the exact one but it is 2 arrows above each other pointing in the opposite direction

Example:

→

←

Answer 9

It indicates that the reaction is reversible.
