Chemical Equation
It is the shorthand for describing the course of chemical
reaction wherein the reactants are always written before the reaction
or on the left side of the equation while the product is on the right
side of the equation.

Chemical Reaction is a process in which one or more
substances are changed into new substance with different
physical and chemical properties.

Word Equation describes a chemical change using the


names of the reactants and products.

Types of Chemical Equation
1. Direct Combination or Synthesis Reaction
A + B → AB
2. Chemical Decomposition or Analysis Reaction
AB → A + B
3. Single Displacement or Substitution Reaction
A + BC → AC + B
4. Double Displacement Reaction
AB + CD → AD + CB
