In a chemical equation, the arrow can be translated as ______ or _______. yields or makes
Reactant Substances broken apart or combined in a chemical reaction and are located on the left side of the arrow.
Product New substances formed in a chemical reaction and are located on the right side of the arrow.
The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be changed in form.
Balanced chemical equation has the same number of each kind of atom on the reactant side as on the product side.
Coefficient the number that comes before the chemical formula and indicates the number of molecules that participate in the reaction.
