This chapter explains what chemical reactions are and how to represent them using chemical equations. A chemical reaction occurs when substances change to form new substances with different properties.
It also covers:
How to write and balance chemical equations
Different types of reactions such as combination, decomposition, displacement, and double displacement
Concepts of oxidation and reduction (redox reactions)
Real-life examples like corrosion (rusting of iron) and rancidity (spoilage of food)
