AReactants, written on the left
BProducts, written on the right
CCoefficients, placed in front
DSubscripts, placed inside
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Products, written on the right
1. A chemical equation separates what goes in from what comes out using an arrow.
2. Substances generated by the change are the products.
3. Product formulas sit on the right side of the arrow.
4. Coefficients and subscripts are numbers, not substances, so neither names this group.
