The Art of Chemical Reactions

Chemical reactions are the universe's ultimate makeover artists! They're happening

constantly, breaking old chemical bonds and forging brand new ones. This is how totally

new substances pop into existence from different starting materials. Some reactions are

like explosive parties, releasing tons of energy – that's exothermic. Others are chill,

needing an energy boost to get going – that's endothermic. And guess what? We can control the

speed! Crank up the heat, add more stuff, or use a special helper called a

catalyst to make things happen faster. It’s all about those perfect particle collisions.

Chemistry is basically real-life alchemy!
