The elements or compounds that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction are called:

The correct option is B

Product

The explanation for the correct options

B. Product

Chemical equation

• Chemical Equation is the representation of a chemical reaction using symbols and equations.

$\underset{\mathrm{Reactants}}{\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}}\to \underset{\mathrm{Products}}{\mathrm{C}+\mathrm{D}}$

• A and B are the reactants in this equation which are written on left-hand side.
• C and D are the products in this equation which are written on right-hand side.
• For example

$\underset{\mathrm{Silver}\mathrm{Chloride}}{2\mathrm{AgCl}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}\stackrel{\mathrm{Sunlight}}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{Silver}}{2\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{s}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Chlorine}}{{\mathrm{Cl}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$

The explanation for the incorrect options

A. Reactants

• Reactants are substances which combines to form different products.
• These are written on the left side of a chemical reaction.

C. Ions

• Ions are charged species formed due to the gain or donation of electrons.
• For example,

${\mathrm{Na}}_{11}=2,8,1\mathrm{After}\mathrm{donating}1\mathrm{electron}={\mathrm{Na}}^{+}\left(\mathrm{ion}\right)$

D. Radicles

• When a molecule contains 1 unpaired electron, it is called a radicle.
• There are two types of radicles.

1. Neutral radicle
2. Charged radicle

• For example, Hydrogen peroxide

Hence, option (B) is correct, elements or compounds that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction are called products.
