What is the sentence to identify diatomic elements?
I Have No Bright Or Clever Friends
What are the elements in that sentence?
I, H, N, Br, O, C, F
What are the three types of chemical reactions?
Precipitation, neutralization, and oxydation/redox
What happens to the constituents once in contact during precipitation?
They change colours or state once in contact with each other.
What is neutralisation?
When an acid and a base bound.
What is oxydation (redox)?
When there is a transfer of electrons between two species. A molecule, ion or atom changes by gaining or losing electrons.
What is double displacement?
When the atoms in a polyatomic compound change place with other atoms in a polyatomic compound.
MgO + CaS —> ___ + ___ (double displacement)
MgS + CaO
HCl + NaOH = ___ + ___ [neutralization]
NaCl + H(2)O
Zn (solid) + 2HCl (aqueous) = ___ (aqueous) + ___ (gas)
ZnCl(2) + H(2)
Are organic reactions redox, precipitation or neutralization?
Redox
How are chemical reactions balanced?
By changing the coefficients (rational numbers are also allowed)
