The chapter Chemical Reactions and Equations is a fundamental part of Class 10 Science NCERT. It introduces students to the concept of chemical reactions, where substances react to form new products with different properties. The chapter covers various types of reactions, including combination, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, oxidation-reduction, and exothermic and endothermic reactions.
Students learn to write balanced chemical equations, which represent chemical reactions with correct stoichiometric ratios. Important topics such as the law of conservation of mass, reaction observation, and how to identify different types of chemical changes are explained in a simple manner for better understanding.
The chapter also emphasizes practical applications of chemical reactions in daily life, such as rusting, corrosion, preparation of compounds, and chemical processes in industries. Solving in-text questions and exercises helps students strengthen conceptual clarity and improves problem-solving skills, making it essential for exam preparation and practical knowledge.
