For this, the best description of a reaction is to write an equation for the reaction. A chemical reaction equation gives the reactants and products, and a balanced chemical reaction equation shows the mole relationships of reactants and products. Often, the amount of energy involved in the reaction is given.

So the wrong theories of the Greeks were based on not recognizing the difference between physical changes, which are changes in the state of matter, and chemical changes, changes in the combination of atoms.
