.Section-E

37. Chemical reaction is in which the bonds are broken within reactant molecules, and new bonds are
formed within product molecules in order to form a new substance. You must have observed that
magnesium ribbon burns with a dazzling white flame and changes into a white powder. This powder is
magnesium oxide. It is formed due to the reaction between magnesium and oxygen present in the air . –
when a magnesium ribbon is burnt in oxygen, it gets converted to magnesium oxide. The simplest way to
do this is to write it in the form of a word-equation. The word-equation for the above reaction would be –
Magnesium + Oxygen → Magnesium oxide. A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction. If you
recall formulae of magnesium, oxygen and magnesium oxide, the above word-equation can be written as –
Mg + O2 → MgO Count and compare the number of atoms of each element on left and right side of the
arrow. If the number of atoms of each element the same on both the sides the equation is balanced. If not,
then the equation is unbalanced because the mass is not the same on both sides of the equation
