21. Chemical Reactions:is a process that results in the interconversion of chemical substances ^[1]. The substance or substances initially involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants.

Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that strictly involve the motion of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds, although the general concept of a chemical reaction, in particular the notion of a chemical equation, is applicable to transformations of elementary particles, as well as nuclear reactions. On the classical definition, therefore, there are only two types of chemical reaction: redox reactions and acid-base reactions. The former involve the motion of an electron pair and the latter of lone electrons.
