Elemental reactions

Elemental reactions occur when two or more chemical elements or compounds interact, resulting in new substances with different properties. These reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, driven by differences in energy, reactivity, or stability. For example, when hydrogen reacts with oxygen, they form water. These processes are fundamental to chemistry and happen all around us, from digestion to industrial manufacturing. The reactions depend on factors like temperature, pressure, and concentration, and understanding them helps explain natural phenomena and develop new materials or medicines.
