Product molecules are the substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction. They appear on the right side of a chemical equation.
Think of product molecules like the final dish you get after following a recipe. You start with individual ingredients (reactants), and after cooking (the chemical reaction), you end up with your meal (product).
Molecular Formula: This is a representation of the number and type of atoms in a single molecule of a substance.
Chemical Reaction: A process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to change in physical form or nuclear reaction.
Stoichiometry: The calculation involving the masses (or volumes) of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
