Answer : The correct option is, reactants

Explanation :

Chemical equation : In a chemical reaction, when the reactants are combined or separated to form new products.

For example :

\(6Li+N_2\rightarrow 2Li_3N\)

This is a chemical reaction in which the 'Li' and \(N_2\) are the reactants and \(LiN_3\) is the product.

In \(6Li\) and \(2Li_3N\), 6 and 2 are the coefficients.

Therefore, the substances in a chemical reaction that are combined or separated to form new substances are the reactants.
