Solution

Reactant: The substance which take part in a chemical reaction are called reactants.
Product: the substance which forms as a result of chemical reaction is called products.
The new substance produced as a result of chemical reaction is called products.
For example: When two sodium atoms react with two chlorine atoms(reactants), they give a completely new compound (product) i.e. sodium chloride (two atoms).
\[2Na + C l_2 \to 2NaCl\]
