(1) How to Balance Chemical Equations 1. Chemical reactions Chemical reactions are like a ‘’. The people starting the dance are called reactants. The number of people on the dance floor remains the same. During the dance people change partners and form new groups called products. This is what happens in a chemical reaction. Atoms swap with one another and produce new chemicals. Old chemicals() rearrange to produce new chemicals() Reactants → Products The arrow means '' In a chemical reaction atoms are rearranged as old chemical bonds are broken and new chemical bonds are formed. The 'law of conservation of ' is supported as the weight doesn’t change between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products.
