Here's a simple breakdown:
* Reactants: The substances that go into a chemical reaction (found on the left side of the arrow).
* Products: The substances that are formed by the chemical reaction (found on the right side of the arrow).
For example, in the reaction:
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
* Reactants: Hydrogen (H₂) and Oxygen (O₂)
* Product: Water (H₂O)
