Product
substance that forms in a chemical reaction
Reactant
substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction
Chemical energy
Energy that is released when compounds react
Xothermic reaction
Energy is realeased
Endothermic reaction
Energy is absorbed
Synthesis reaction
Substances combine to form one compound
Decomposition reaction
A single compound that breaks down to make simpler
Electrolysis
Decomposition of water
Combustion
Where oxygen was added and bonds burst
Single displacement
reaction where one elect or radical takes place of another element
Double displacement reaction
molecular compound forms from exchanging atoms or ions between compounds
Oxidation reactions reduction
any chemical change in slices is oxidized and an other species is reduced
Radical
organic group that has one or more electrons available for bonding
Reduce
chemical change where particles are taken away from
chemical equation
Mole ratio
.o do is look at balanced equation for the coefficients in front of the substances
