Chapt. 2.4 Flashcards
endothermic reaction
chemical reaction that absorbs more energy than it releases
exothermic reaction
chemical reaction that releases more energy than it absorbs
activation energy
amount of energy that need to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start
reactants
substance changed during a chemical reaction
products
substance made by a chemical reaction
equilibrium
state reached when reactions and products are made at the same rate
bond energy
the amount of energy that is needed to break a bond between two atoms
(T or F) Not all chemical reactions involve changes in energy
false
(T or F) Activation energy is required for a chemical reaction to start.
true
(T or F) Some chemical reactions release more energy than they absorb, while others absorb more energy than they release.
true
(T or F) Chemical reactions can occur whether or not energy is added to reactants.
false
(T or F) An exothermic chemical reaction absorbs more energy than it releases.
false
During a chemical reaction, (chemical bonds/ solutes) break and reform.
chemical bonds
(Reactants/ products) are the substances changed during a chemical reaction.
reactants
Bond energy is the amount of energy it takes to break a bond between 2 (atoms/ ions).
