Question
what does the arrow represent in the reaction? nabr + cl₂ → nacl + br₂ yields products reactants states of matter
In a chemical reaction equation, the arrow ($
ightarrow$) is used to show the direction of the reaction. It indicates that the substances on the left - hand side (reactants, in this case $NaBr$ and $Cl_2$) are being transformed into the substances on the right - hand side (products, $NaCl$ and $Br_2$). The word "yields" is a common way to describe what the arrow represents in a chemical reaction. Products are the substances on the right - hand side of the arrow, reactants are on the left - hand side, and states of matter (e.g., $(s)$ for solid, $(l)$ for liquid, $(g)$ for gas) are usually shown in parentheses next to the chemical formulas (not relevant for the meaning of the arrow here).
