  • Chemical Equation
    A symbolic representation showing reactants and products, with atoms and their quantities indicated for both sides.
  • Balanced Equation
    A symbolic statement where the type and number of atoms are equal on both sides of the arrow.
  • Coefficient
    A number placed before a chemical formula to indicate the quantity of molecules or atoms involved.
  • Atom
    A basic unit of matter, counted and compared on both sides to ensure equations are balanced.
  • Reactant
    A substance present on the left side of the arrow, participating in a chemical change.
  • Product
    A substance formed and shown on the right side of the arrow after a chemical reaction.
  • Arrow
    A symbol separating reactants from products, indicating the direction of the chemical change.
  • Distribution
    The process of applying coefficients to all atoms in a formula to determine total quantities.
  • Hydrogen
    An element often used in examples, requiring careful counting to ensure balanced equations.
  • Oxygen
    A diatomic element commonly appearing in equations, its atoms must be balanced on both sides.
  • Type of Atom
    A specific element present in a reaction, which must be matched on both sides for balance.
  • Number of Atoms
    The total count of each element, calculated using coefficients to check for balance.
  • Molecule
    A group of atoms bonded together, whose quantity is indicated by coefficients in equations.
