Here's a breakdown:
* Reactant: A substance that undergoes a chemical change in a reaction. It combines with other reactants to form products.
* Product: The substance(s) that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
* Chemical Reaction: A process that involves the rearrangement of atoms and molecules, leading to the formation of new substances.
For example, in the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar (acetic acid), both are reactants that combine to form carbon dioxide gas, water, and sodium acetate as products.
