Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A chemical equation is written using chemical symbols to indicate the reactants and products, which are connected using a forward arrow. Multiple reactants and products are connected using a plus (.+.) sign. e.g. : When silver chloride is placed sunlight, it decomposes into silver metal and chlorine gas.
`2AgCl(s)overset("sunlight")(to)2Ag(s)+Cl_(2)(g)`.
