1. A reactant is a substance consumed during a chemical transformation 🧪. TRUE FALSE
2. The arrow shows the direction of the chemical transformation, from reactants to products. TRUE FALSE
3. The products are on the left of the arrow, and the reactants are on the right. TRUE FALSE
4. There are two reactants: methane CH4 and dioxygen O2. TRUE FALSE
5. The methane molecule CH4 contains one hydrogen atom H and four carbon atoms C. TRUE FALSE
6. 2O2 means two dioxygen molecules, so 4 oxygen atoms O. TRUE FALSE
7. CH4 contains 1 carbon atom C, and 2O2 contains none. Therefore CH4 + 2O2 contains 1 carbon atom. TRUE FALSE
8. CO2 contains no hydrogen atom H, and 2H2O contains 4. Therefore CO2 + 2H2O contains 4 hydrogen atoms H. TRUE FALSE
9. CO2 contains 2 oxygen atoms O, and 2H2O contains 2. Therefore CO2 + 2H2O contains 4 oxygen atoms O. TRUE FALSE
10. This chemical equation is balanced because there are 4 carbon atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms before and after the arrow. TRUE FALSE
