	Chemical reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A chemical reaction is a process involving one, two or more substances (called reactants), characterized by a chemical change and yielding one or more product(s) which are different from the reactants.
		Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that strictly involve the motion of electrons, although the general concept of a chemical reaction (in particular the notion of a chemical equation) is applicable to transformations of elementary particles, as well as nuclear reactions.
		Chemical equilibrium is the state in which the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, thus preserving the amount of reactants and products.

	Chemical change -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A chemical change is a process in which (A chemical substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction) reactants are changed into one or more different (An artifact that has been created by someone or some process) products.
		A chemical change occurs whenever ((chemistry) a substance formed by chemical union of two or more elements or ingredients in definite proportion by weight) compounds are formed or decomposed.
		When new substances are formed, a chemical change has occured, and a ((chemistry) a process in which one or more substances are changed into others) chemical reaction has taken place.

	Distinction between Chemical and Physical Changes
		Chemical reactions involve changing the materials that you're dealing with into new materials, and the changes that you see are the result of the appearance of the new materials.
		But the physical changes are changes in the condition of the material or changes caused by mixing materials together or taking them apart--just mixing or separating, not the creation of something new.
		Physical changes and chemical changes have much in common in that you are looking at similar kinds of results.

		Chemical change actually alters the material as it reacts to certain substances.
		The students had originally said that physical changes were: those that did not change the object, stayed the same shape or structure, were transformed to something else, and those that changed forms of matter.
		The knowledge about chemical changes was similar: those objects that change materials, those that did not change materials, and were broken down into other chemicals.

	chemical change
		A chemical change is a change which produces a new substance.
		If in a chemical reaction one or more of the reactants are used up, the reaction is called a complete reaction.

		Remember; when a new chemical substance is produced, the change is known as a chemical change.
		A chemical change is usually contrasted with a physical change, in which a substance changes form but keeps its chemical properties remains the same.

		A physical change is a change in the size, state, or structure of matter, while a chemical change is a change in the composition of matter.
		Its composition is therefore different than the original charcoal, and the change which took place during burning of the charcoal was a chemical change.
		Physical changes are usually fairly obvious, and include a change in shape, physical state, etc. Often a chemical change can be identified when one of the following has occurred: the evolution of a gas, change in color, formation of a precipitate, or the absorption or release of energy.

		Physical change: Although some extensive properties (like shape, phase, etc.) of the material change, the material itself is the same before and after the change.
		Chemical change: The substances present at the beginning of the change are not present at the end; new substances are formed.
		In this example, we don’t have a new substance, therefore this salt in solution doesn’t fit the microscopic definition of a chemical change; but we also don’t have the substance in its original form — a stack of alternating sodium and chlorine atoms.

		When the compound is altered in a chemical reaction, the fingerprint will change- and so the color of the reacting mixture may change, as the reaction progresses.
		It is possible to have a color change without a chemical change, however, because a compound's absorption spectrum isn't the only thing that affects its color.
