The substances produced in a chemical reaction are called products.
In any chemical reaction, the starting substances are known as reactants. During the reaction, these reactants undergo a transformation to form new substances, which are the products. The relationship between reactants and products helps us understand chemical equations, where the reactants are on the left side and the products on the right side.
For instance, if we consider the combustion of methane (CH4), the reactants are methane and oxygen (O2), and the products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Thus, understanding that products are the result of the chemical process emphasizes the transformations that take place during reactions.
