Covalent Compounds Flashcards
A process where chemicals interact with one another to form a new compound
Chemical Reaction
Chemical reaction is a process where ———– , the starting material is turned into a new substance called ————–
Reactants, Products
Distinguishing property for the uniqueness of compounds
Change in color/color
Heat is released or absorbed when atoms are being broken
An exple.of this is combustion
Change in Temperature
Example of change in temperature
Combustion
Example of formation of Gas
Effervescence
Evolution of Gas
Effervescence
—— results when two aqueous solutions upon mixing form an insoluble solid known as a —–
Precipitation, precipitate
In a chemical reaction, there are different indicators that can be observed:
color change;
temperature change;
formation of gas; and
formation of precipitates.
process of forming new compounds
Chemical reaction
Formation of Gas
Effervescence
Starting materials
Reactants
Reactions where two or more simple substances combine to form new compounds
Synthesis reaction
A compound is broken down into it’s simpler or starting elements
Decomposition
Decomposition of a compound is possible through the application of:
Heat, energy, Catalyst
In decomposition reaction, when electricity is passed through water, it decomposes into its elemental composition:
Hydrogen Gas and Oxygen Gas
True or false:
Compounds can also form after a decomposition reaction
True
One element replaces a similar element in the compound
Single Displacement Reaction
Example of Simple Displacement
Daniell Cell
Predicts weather or not single displacement reactions proceed or not
Activity series
Most reactive element and least reactive element
Potassium and Platinum respectively
Many metals react with acids, and when they react they form ——— as one of the products
Hydrogen
When two ionic substances react and exchange ions with one another
Double displacement reaction
Combination of Acid and base forming a water salt solution
Acid-base reaction
