(40 cards)
What are the diatomic molecules (HOFBrINCl)
Hydrogen, Oxegyn, Florine, Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, Chlorine
The diatomic molecules are usually found in what state
gasses
which two diatomic molecules are not gasses and what is their state of matter
Iodine (s) and Bromine (l)
Compounds can either be
aqueous or solid
If an element is not diatomic and not a noble gas it is usually a
solid
which non diatomic elements are not solids
Hg (l) and S (g)
an arrow means
produces
two arrows means
can be uncombined
+
reacts
triangle above arrow
heated
temp or pressure above arrow
specific temp or pressure in which reaction is carried out
cat above arrow means a catalyst is needed. What is a catalyst
a substance needed to initiate a reaction
NR means
no reaction takes place
an up arrow means
gaseous product
a down arrow means
formation of a precipitant
on the left of the arrow is the
reactants
on the right of the arrow is the
products
chemical reactions occur when substances
undergo changes
bonds are broken and new bonds are formed, the atoms are rearranged but never
created or destroyed- law of conservation of mass
balanced chemical equations represent a
chemical reaction
what is a coefficiant
a number put in front of an element or compound used to balance it
what is a subscript
a number below an element or compound showing its number
what are the four ways we can identify a chemical change has occured
change of color, evolution of gas, formation of a precipitant, release or absorbtion of energy
what are the five types of reactions
synthesis, decomposition, combustion, single displacement, double displacement
