Chemical Reaction
The process where substances change into different substances through the breaking of chemical bonds
Real World Example
Imagine trying to rearrange your living room furniture to create a more functional and inviting space. Just like moving a couch, chair, and coffee table into new positions to achieve a different room layout, a chemical reaction involves breaking existing chemical bonds and forming new ones to create different substances. In this analogy, each piece of furniture represents an atom, the existing arrangement represents the original chemical bonds, and the new layout represents the new substances formed; just as rearranging furniture can change the feel and function of a room, breaking and forming bonds can transform substances into entirely new chemical compositions.
