What is a chemical reaction?
It is the process by which one
or more substances undergo
change to produce one or more

These new substances have
different chemical and physical
properties from the original
substances.

Braking and making bonds
New substances are
formed in a chemical
reaction because
chemical bonds in the
starting substances
break, atoms
rearrange, and new
bonds form to make
the new substances.
