Products are the species formed from chemical. During a chemical reaction are transformed into products after passing through a high energy state.

Products are the species formed from chemical. During a chemical reaction are transformed into products after passing through a high energy state. This process results in the consumption of the reactants. It can be reaction or mediated by catas which lower the energy of the transition state, and by solvents which provide the chemical environment necessary for the reaction to take place. When represented in chemical products are by convention drawn on the right-hand side, even in the case of reaction. The properties of products such as their energies help determine several characteristics of a chemical reaction such as whether the reaction is fine. Additionally the properties of a product can make it easier to extract and purify following a chemical reaction, especially if the product has a different matter than the reactants. Reactants are molecular materials used to create chemical reactions. The atoms aren't created or destroyed. The materials are reactive and reactants are rearranging during a chemical reaction. Here is an example of reactants: CH4 + O2. A non-example is CO2 + H2O or "energy".

Much of chemistry research is focused on the sunthests and characterization of beneficial products, as well as the detection and removal of undesirable products. Synthetic chemists can be subdivided into research chemists who design new chemicals and pioneer new methods for synthesizing chemicals, as well as  process who scale up chemical production and make it safer, more environmentally sustainable, and more efficient.Other fields includechemists who isolate products created by living organisms and then characterize and study these products.

The products of a chemical reaction influence several aspects of the reaction. If the products are lower in energy than the reactants, then the reaction will give off excess energy making it an reaction. Such reactions are thermodynamically favorable and tend to happen on their own. If the kinestic of the reaction are high enough, however, then the reaction may occur too slowly to be observed, or not even occur at all. This is the case with the conversion of diamond to lower energy graphite at atmospheric pressure, in such a reaction diamond is considered metasble and will not be observed converting into graphite.

If the products are higher in chemical energy than the reactants then the reaction will require energy to be performed and is therefore an endergonic reaction. Additionally if the product is less stable than a reactant, then Leffler's assumption holds that the transition state will more closely resemble the product than the reactant.Sometimes the product will differ significantly enough from the reactant that it is easily purified following the reaction such as when a product is insoluble and precipitates out of solution while the reactants remained dissolved.
