    This document defines key terms related to chemical reactions including chemical equations, reactants, products, synthesis reactions, decomposition reactions, replacement reactions, combustion, endothermic reactions, exothermic reactions, and catalysts. A chemical equation describes a reaction using symbols and formulas. Reactants are the starting substances and products are what is produced. Synthesis reactions combine substances to form compounds while decomposition and replacement reactions involve compounds breaking down or elements replacing each other. Combustion and exothermic reactions release energy during the reaction.
