Concept Introduction: For writing a chemical equation, the chemical symbols of the elements or the compounds are used that represent the reaction taking place in the system. In a chemical reaction, an arrow separates the reactants and the products, and two or more reactants and products are separated by “ $+$ ”. The arrow is generally towards the product side. For a balanced chemical reaction, the number of atoms of each element in the reactant and the product side must be equal.
