Chemical Reactions and Equations

In Class 10 Science, under the chapter Chemical Substances – Nature and Behaviour, this topic introduces chemical reactions as changes that form new substances. Students learn to identify reactants and products, represent reactions through word and chemical equations, and write balanced equations using correct chemical formulae while following the law of conservation of mass.
