How do chemical reactions occur?

Chemical reactions occur when two or more molecules interact with each other and rearrange their atoms to form new products. This rearrangement can happen due to the reaction of electrons in the atoms, resulting in the breaking or forming of chemical bonds. Chemical reactions can be initiated by various factors, such as heat, light, and catalysts. The reactants involved in a reaction play a critical role in determining the outcome of the reaction, and the reaction's rate and direction are governed by the laws of thermodynamics. Chemical reactions are vital processes that drive countless biological activities and industrial processes.
