This question is quite vague but I'll do my best to address all the possible answers.
Example) lets just look at a generic acid/base reaction:
H-A + B- --------> A- + B-H+
In this case, this arrow literally means "yields," such the 2 compounds to the left of the arrow, the reactants, will yield or produce the 2 compounds to the right of the arrow, or the products. However, please keep in mind that all chemical reactions are reversible or there is a equilibrium. Chemists do not like to show this forward arrow because it ignores the fact at any moment there are both forward and reverse reactions taking place in your beaker or whatever.
Example) If you are not talking about the yield arrow and you are curious about a "curved" arrow drawn from one molecule to another. You are probably looking at a mechanism, often used in organic chemistry, and it is used to track the movement of a pair of electrons. The head of the arrow is showing where the electron pair is going and the tail is showing where the pair is coming from. Electrons always move from electron rich regions to electron deficient regions!
Example) If you are talking about an arrow that is curved but only has half a head, this is called a fish-hook arrow. It represents the movement of a single electron, not a pair.
Hope it helps!
What else can I help you with?
What word does the arrow in the chemical question stand for?
Reacts to produce
When do you use the up arrow in chemical reaction?
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.
What chemical equations violates the law of conservation of energy?
Any chemical equations violates the law of conservation of energy.
Is the substance to the right of the arrow in a chemical equation called a reactant?
No, on the right of the arrow in a chemical reaction is called a product. The reactant is on the left.
What does the Substances on the left of the arrow?
The substances on the left of the arrow in a chemical equation represent the reactants, which are the substances that participate in the chemical reaction and are transformed into products.
Appears between the starting substances and end products in chemical equations?
arrow
What word does the arrow in the chemical question stand for?
Reacts to produce
What formulas arrow and plus signs in a chemical equation tell you?
Chemicals equations use chemical formulas and other symbols instead of words to summarize a reaction.
Is sodium a chemical equation?
No, because chemical equations require more than one element. For example: Na- + Cl -----> Na- Cl (Na is negative & Cl is positive) Also chemical equations have to have an arrow instead of an equal sign, as far as I know.
How do you label a chemical equations?
I think, the most convenient way is to use Microsoft Office Word. For simple chemical equations you will need just subscripts, which are one of possilbe formats of text in the program, and arrows, that can be added through Insert->Symbol.
In the representation of a chemical reaction what does the arrow stand for?
The arrow in a chemical reaction represents the direction in which the reaction proceeds. It shows the transformation of reactants into products, indicating the direction of the reaction from left to right.
Why can you not use an equals sign for a chemical equation?
An equals sign is not used in a chemical equation because it implies a mathematical equality, while a chemical equation represents a chemical reaction where atoms are rearranged to form new substances. Instead, chemical equations use an arrow to indicate the direction of the reaction.
What is the chemical equations of honey?
Honey hasn't chemical equations.
A symbol used in a chemical equations that means''reacts with?
THE PLUS SIGN (+)an example is: sodium + oxygen --> sodium oxideNa2 + O --> Na2O
What is the arrow read as in chemical equations?
The arrow in a chemical equation is read as "yields" or "produces," indicating the direction in which the reactants are transforming into products during a chemical reaction. This transformation can involve rearrangement of atoms and bonds to form new substances.
What can chemical equations tell you about a chemical reactions?
Chemical equations describe the products and reactants in a chemical reaction.
What is the code used in chemical equations telling what atoms are part of the equation?
The chemical formula indicates the types and quantities of atoms in a molecule or compound. Each element is represented by its symbol, with subscript numbers indicating the number of atoms present. When writing chemical equations, reactants and products are connected by plus and arrow symbols to show the transformation of atoms during a chemical reaction.
