Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Elements-
Can not be broken down, simplest type of substance
Chemistry-
Study of properties of matter and how matter changes
Compound-
two or more elements chemically combined
Mixture-
two or more pure substance mixed but NOT chemically combined
Solution-
Well mixed mixture
Physical change-
breaks into smaller pieces but still the same material
EX: Ice
Chemical Change-
a change in matter that makes new substances
Precipitate-
a solid that forms from a solution
Relative humidity-
the moisture in the air
Atoms-
smallest particle of an element
Molecule-
smallest part of a compound
Chemical bonding-
force that holds chemicals together
All the matter around you is composed of______________
one element or a combination of two or more elements
What are some types of solutions/mixtures?
Salt water, soil, sand, clay,
A chemical bond is formed or broken down during a ________
chemical reaction
What are 5 evidences of a chemical reaction?
Color change, Precipitation, Gas Production, Changes in Temperature, Changes in properties
Chemical formula
shows a ratio of elements in a compound
Subscript-
shows the number of atoms of an element, written below the letter
Coefficient-
number in front of a formula; shows the number of molecules in the formula
Reactant-
found on the left side of the arrow or yield sign
Product-
found on the right side of the arrow or yield sign
Chemical equation-
a shorter and easier way to show chemical reactions
a chemical reaction uses symbols to show__________
the reactants and products
Conservation of mass-
the amount of matter in a chemical reaction never changes, so the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the product
