Types of chemical Reactions

In the first blog of the series, we talked about chemical reactions . We know from the blog that a chemical reaction is a process in which atoms or molecules of one or more substances are rearranged to form new substances. Today we are going to discuss types of chemical reactions. In a chemical reaction, the transformation of atoms from one element to another does not occur. Likewise, atoms do not vanish from the mixture or materialize from elsewhere. Rather, chemical reactions entail the process of breaking and forming bonds between atoms, resulting in the creation of new substances. The process of breaking and forming bonds can be carried out by different types of chemical reactions. Today we are going to discuss only two of them. The first one is.   Combination Reaction A combination reaction, also known as a synthesis reaction, occurs when two or more substances combine to form a single, more complex substance. In a combination reaction, the reactants react with each o...

Chemical Reaction

  In our earlier blogs, we talked about the fundamentals of Chemistry and Physics based on syllabus of grade 9. In this blog we are going to discuss fundamentals of chemistry based on the syllabus of grade 10. We will start our first blog with the discussion of chemical reactions.   Chemical Reaction A chemical reaction is a process in which atoms or molecules of one or more substances are rearranged to form new substances. Chemical reactions are all around us, from the metabolism of food in our bodies to the combustion of fuels. There are four obvious observations that help us to figure out whether the chemical reaction has taken place or not. Those are; Change in state. Change in color. Evolution of gas. Change in temperature. For example, let’s suppose a magnesium ribbon is burned and the ashes collected in a watch glass. To determine if the reaction has taken place in this process or not, we will check for the given observations. We can check that the sta...
