⚗ Balancing chemical equations
Unit 3 · Forces, energy & reactions · 10 min
Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a reaction, so each element must have the same count on both sides. Example: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O has 4 H and 2 O on each side. Change only the coefficients, never the formulas.
Words in this lesson
- 原子 (yuán zǐ) — atom
- 化学反应 (huà xué fǎn yìng) — chemical reaction
