A '''Chemical reaction''' is a process in which one or more molecules change their configuration by exchanging atoms. It can also involve the collision of individual atoms. A chemical reaction has two types, [[endothermic]], requiring a net input of kinetic energy to complete the reaction, and [[exothermic]], resulting in a net output of kinetic energy in the products. | A '''Chemical reaction''' is a process in which one or more molecules change their configuration by exchanging atoms.
