Example:
Imagine trying to bake a cake but only having separate ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs. Just like mixing these ingredients together in the right way results in a delicious cake, a chemical reaction combines different elements or compounds to form a new substance. In both scenarios, individual components (ingredients or reactants) are transformed through a process (baking or a chemical reaction) to create something entirely new and different (cake or a new compound).
