Explanation:

A chemical reaction is a process. In this process, reactants (two or more molecules) interact. As a result of this interaction, new substances (products) are formed.

• Option A describes a neutral compound (not a reaction).
• Option B describes a base (a type of substance, not a reaction).
• Option C describes an acid (a type of substance, not a reaction).
• Option D correctly describes a chemical reaction as a process of molecular interaction to form new substances.

Answer:

D. a process where two or more molecules interact to form one or more different substances
