All the atoms in the products come from the atoms in the reactants. The reactants are on the left side of the equation and the products are on the right. In the reaction, the bonds in the methane and ...

The atom economy of a chemical reaction is a measure of the percentage of reactants that become useful products. Inefficient, wasteful processes have low atom economies. Efficient processes have ...

From that information, we can write a word equation to represent the reaction. The reactants are iron and oxygen, they go on the left hand side. Iron plus oxygen. We use an arrow to show the ...

The combustion of methane is an example of an exothermic reaction. More energy is released when the bonds in the products are formed than is used to break the bonds of the reactants. This is shown by ...
