polyatomic ion
an ion containing a number of atoms
precipitate
identification in reactions where solid forms
strong electrolyte
a material that when dissolved in water gives a solution that conducts an electric current very efficiently
soluble
dissolvable in waterr
insoluble
not dissolvable in water
strong acid
an acid that completely dissociates to produce H+ ions and the conjugate base.
base
substances that produce hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions; proton acceptors
strong base
a metal hydroxide compound that completely dissociates into its ions in water
molecular equation
an equation representing a reaction in solution and showing the reactants and product in undissociated form, whether they are strong or weak electrolytes
complete ionic equation
An equation that shows as ions all substances that are strong electrolytes
net ionic equation
an equation for a reaction in solution, representing strong electrolytes as ions and showing only those components that are directly involved in the chemical change.
spectator ions
ions present in the reaction that do not participate directly in the reaction
salt
ionic compound
double displacement reaction

oxidizing agent
A reactant that accepts electrons from another reactant
reducing agent
A reactant that donates electrons to another substance , reducing the oxidation the oxidation state of one of its own atoms
decomposition reaction
a reaction in which a compound can be broken down into simpler compounds or all the way to the component elements by heating or by the application of an electric current.
synthesis reaction
a given compound formed from simpler materials
chemical reaction
a process in which one or more substances are charged into one or more new substances by the reorganization of component atoms.
