Step-by-step explanation:

A reaction that bring changes in the chemical composition of its reactants then it is known as chemical reaction.

For example,
C + O_(2) \rightarrow CO_(2)

When carbon and oxygen combine together then properties of both carbon and oxygen changes. Whereas properties of carbon dioxide is different from carbon and oxygen atom.
