Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Atoms rearrange, new substances form.
A chemical reaction is a process where reactants transform into products with new properties. This involves breaking and forming chemical bonds, rearranging atoms. Signs include color change, gas evolution, precipitate formation, or energy change.
↳ Chemical reactions create new substances by rearranging atoms.
Shorthand for a reaction.
A chemical equation uses symbols and formulas to represent a reaction. Reactants are written on the left, products on the right, separated by an arrow ($\rightarrow$). For example: $\text{Mg} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{MgO}$.
↳ Chemical equations are symbolic representations of reactions.
Mass is neither created nor destroyed.
A balanced chemical equation has equal numbers of each atom on both sides, obeying the Law of Conservation of Mass. Coefficients are used to balance. Example: $2\text{H}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O}$.
↳ Balancing ensures atoms are conserved in a reaction.
This chapter introduces chemical reactions, their representation via equations, and the importance of balancing. It covers main reaction types—combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, and redox—alon...

19 questions laddered from warm-up to topper-level, each with an explanation. A taste:
Which of the following is a correct example of a chemical reaction?
BeginnerRusting of iron
Rusting of iron is a chemical change where iron reacts with oxygen and moisture to form a new substance (iron oxide). The other options are physical changes.
In the reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, what is the coefficient of hydrogen gas?
Beginner2
The coefficient is the number before the chemical formula. In 2H₂, the coefficient is 2, indicating 2 molecules of hydrogen gas.
Which of the following is a balanced chemical equation?
Intermediate2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
In 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides: 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on each side.
What is the purpose of balancing a chemical equation?
IntermediateTo satisfy the law of conservation of mass
Balancing ensures that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides, obeying the law of conservation of mass.
