A Chemical Reaction is a process that occurs when two or more molecules interact to form a new product(s). Compounds that interact to produce new compounds are called reactants whereas the newly formed compounds are called products. Chemical reactions play an integral role in different industries, customs and even in our daily life. They are… Continue reading Basic Concepts of Chemical Reactions
