Abstract
This paper demonstrates that chemical equations may be operated like a kind of LEGO game, with construction of the systems of chemical equations. In my teaching experience, these systems of chemical equations are able to help students to understand the reaction routes. Six general principles of creating the systems are formulated. Three examples from inorganic chemistry are considered and discussed in detail.
