What happens to the chemical properties of substances during a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction only the atoms show in the reaction and they can end up in a product. Also, in a chemical reaction the reenact with one another to break down the product. They can also bond and rearrange the atoms to make a new product.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
