Chemical equation=CH4 + O2 = CO2 + H2O. i. identify the products of the chemical reaction.
ii. explain why these are the products based on trends in the periodic table (the number of
valence electrons, electronegativity, etc.).
iii. identify the types of bonds in the reactants and products.
iv. identify the number of each type of bond in the reactants and products.
v. identify the type of reaction

1.The substance(s) to the left of the arrow in a chemical equation are called reactants. A reactant is a substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction. The substance(s) to the right of the arrow are called products . A product is a substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction.The combustion of methane or octane is exothermic; it releases energy. CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O + energy The energies of the products are lower than the energiies of the reactants.

Explanation:

answer carbon and three oxygen atoms;

alchemy hadn't scientific methods of study, appeal to mysticism and fantasy, the knowledge of chemistry and physics were modest at that time.

alchemy was - but as new rules were discovered it either changed into chemistry or it became "unscientific".
