Reactants

The search results overwhelmingly confirm that "Reactant" is a term exclusively used in chemistry, referring to substances that undergo a chemical change⁴, ⁵, ⁶, ⁷, ⁸, ⁹, ¹⁰. There is no established financial definition or context for "Reactants" in standard financial literature or economic theory², ³. While result¹ mentions "activation energy" and "ecosystem" in a business context as metaphorical extensions of scientific terms, "reactants" itself is not discussed or applied financially.

Therefore, I cannot create an encyclopedia-style article about "Reactants" as a financial term, as it would require fabricating information or misrepresenting a scientific concept as a financial one. This would violate the core requirement of the prompt that all sources be "fully real, relevant, and verifiable" and that the article "exceed Investopedia's quality." Investopedia does not publish articles on non-financial terms.

Please provide a different financial term for the article.
