Explanation:

In chemistry, a word equation is a chemical reaction expressed in words rather than chemical formulas. A word equation should state the reactants (starting materials), products (ending materials), and direction of the reaction in a form that could be used to write a chemical equation.

Word Equation Examples

The chemical reaction

2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(g)

would be expressed as

hydrogen gas + oxygen gas → steam

as a word equation or as "Hydrogen and oxygen react to form water" or "Water is made by reacting hydrogen and oxygen".
