Chemical Reactions... Flashcards
solvent
the part of the solution that the solute dissolves into
atom
a single particle of an element with all the properties of that element
density
the amount of mass in a certain amount of space
texture
roughness/smoothness
molecule
a particle made of 2 or more atoms chemically combined
malleability
the ability to be hammered into thin sheets
reactivity
the ability of an atom to undergo a reaction with another atom or compound
element
simplest pure substance
chemical formula
a formula that shows the elements in a compound and the ratio of atoms
thermal conductivity
the ability to move heat through a substance
rust
a chemical reaction between a metal and oxygen
heterogeneous
a mixture where you can see al the different parts
solution
a special kind of homogeneous mixture where one substance dissolves into another
mass
the amount of matter
coefficient
the number BEFORE a molecule that tells how many molecules in the chemical equation
subscript
the number AFTER an atom that tells how many atoms of an element in the compound
solute
the part of the solution that gets dissolved
state
solid, liquid, or gas
solubility
the ability to dissolve into a solvent
tarnish
a chemical reaction that causes a metal to change color
homogeneous
a mixture that looks the same throughout
