Journal Entry:

What is a chemical equation? What are the parts on the left side called? What about the right side?

Learning Intentions

• You will learn how to represent a chemical reaction with a chemical equation using symbols and particle drawings.

• You will learn what items on the left side of a a chemical equation are called as well as items on the right.

• You will learn how the states of matter each substance in a chemical equation are represented.

• You will learn how to balance a chemical equation using the law of conservation of matter using both symbolic and particle drawings of chemical equations.

Closing Task:

You can represent a chemical equation through both a particle drawing or balance chemical equation.
