Reduction
Reactants
Antoine Lavoisier
Energy is ALWAYS invoved.
In a chemical reaction sometimes old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
The actual yield of a reaction product is always less than the yield from the chemical equation. This is because of error.
No, boiling is not always a sign of a chemical reaction.
Yes. The chemicals (reactants) that undergo a chemical reaction react with each other and make new chemicals called the products.
Energy is always involved.
A standard chemical reaction always and only involves a change in the electron configuration of the atom (either the number of electrons or their energy configuration).If the nucleus is affected (either the number of protons or electrons), then it is designated as a nuclear reaction, and this is quite different.
The fundamental law is that 'matter can neither be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction'. This means that there has to be the same amount of matter on either side of the chemical equation, arranged differently, but the same number of atoms of each element involved in the reaction.
Yes, burning of fuel is always a chemical reaction.
mass
electrons are always involved in chemical reactions. how they are positioned which atom they are located if they are sharing paired unpaired etc.
a chemical reaction always converts reactants to products. Products are always formed otherwise it's not considered a chemical reaction.
Reactants
In a balanced chemical reaction the total mass of the products always equals the total mass of reactants; this is the law of mass conservation.
