Chemical Reactions Flashcards
Pleb
An ordinary person
Reaction
something done, felt, or thought in response to a situation or event.
Observation
the action or process of closely observing or monitoring something or someone.
Solubility
Solubility is the property of a solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substance called solute to dissolve in a solid, liquid, or gaseous solvent to form a homogeneous solution of the solute in the solvent.
Combination
a joining or merging of different parts or qualities in which the component elements are individually distinct.
Exchange
an act of giving one thing and receiving another (especially of the same kind) in return.
Thermal Decompisition
Thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, is a chemical decomposition caused by heat.
Displacement
the action of moving something from its place or position.
Reactant
a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.
Product
a thing or person that is the result of an action or process.
Spectator Ions
A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation.
Precipitate
cause (a substance) to be deposited in solid form from a solution.
Element
an essential or characteristic part of something abstract.
Ion
atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving the atom or molecule a net positive or negative electrical charge.
Atom
the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
Proton
a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron.
Electron
a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
Neutron
a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.
Solution
a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).
Aqueous
like water , watery
Activity Series
The activity series is a useful guide for predicting the products of metal displacement reactions.
Cation
a positively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.
Anion
a negatively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the anode in electrolysis.
Ionic Compound
Ionic Compounds Are Balanced. Table salt is an example of an ionic compound. Sodium and chlorine ions come together to form sodium chloride, or NaCl. The sodium atom in this compound loses an electron to become Na+, while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become Cl-.
