Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Valence electrons come together because
Of the number of valence electrons they have.
Using periodic table
You can use the periodic table family members to figure out the valence electrons.
How many valence electrons do the elements in family 2 have
2
How many valence electrons do the elements in family 15 have
5 (ignore 1)
Elements in the same column (family) share the same number of
Valence electrons so they have similar reactivity
What determines how well an element can combine with another element to make a new substance
Valence electrons
Reactivity
Two elements combining to make a new substance
How do compounds form
Through chemical reaction
Why do chemical reactions happen
So atoms can fill their last energy level
Na+Cl is what
NaCl
Sodium chlorine
Sodium transfers an electron to chlorine and makes sodium chloride/salt
New substances have
New properties both chemical and physical
Process of making new. Substances
Chemical reaction
A chemical reaction is also
Chemical change
Chemical reactions are written as
Equations which are called chemical equation
