3. Describe what happens to chemical bonds as a chemical reaction is taking place. 4. Give 3 examples on a daily basis of chemical reactions.

5. What is the difference between a chemical formula and a chemical equation?

1. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. ... No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.

2. Given below are some of the examples of the chemical reactions in our daily life:

Photosynthesis.

Combustion.

Aerobic cellular respiration.

Anaerobic respiration including the process fermentation.

Metathesis reactions, for example, vinegar and baking soda.

Oxidation which includes rusting.

Digestion.

3. A chemical formula is the combination of atomic symbols that designate a particular chemical compound, or a substance with two or more different elements. ... A chemical equation shows one or more chemical compounds (reactants) being converted into different chemical species called products.
