Answer: substances formed as a result of chemical reaction are called PRODUCTS.
Step-by-step explanation:
A chemical reaction can be defined as a reaction in which substances known as the REACTANTS makes or breaks it's bonds to form another substance usually referred to as the PRODUCT. Usually, a new substance which is referred to as the product that is formed is different from the original reacting substances. Some of the characteristics of a chemical reaction include:
--> colour change,
--> heat production,
--> precipitation
The rate at which these chemical reaction occurs depends on some factors such as pressure, temperature and concentration of the reactants
There are different examples of chemical reaction which includes:
--> Rusting of iron: this occurs when iron and oxygen combines to form a mixture of iron oxides, which is the product of the chemical reaction.
--> The burning of magnesium in air: in this Chemical reaction, magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide which is the product of the chemical reaction.
2Mg(s) + O2(g) △→ 2MgO(s)
--> Production of table salt: this is formed from the reaction of sodium and chloride to give sodium chloride as the product of the chemical reaction.
Therefore in a chemical reaction, no atom is destroyed or created but a new PRODUCT is formed from reactants.
