Definitions- Chemical+ Physical Change Flashcards
Corrodibility
How easily a substance can break down
Flammability
How easily a substance is set on fire
Toxicity
How poisonous a substance may be
Light Sensitivity
Whether a substance reacts in light or not
Reactivity
Whether a substance reacts or not
Synthesis Reactions
Occur when two chemicals combine to form one larger chemical
Decomposition Reactions
Occur when one chemical breaks up to form two or more smaller chemicals
Combustion Reactions
Occur when you’ve got something organic reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapour.
Single Displacement Reactions
Occurs when the atoms of a pure element replace those of an element in a chemical compound
Double Displacement Reactions
Occurs when two cations of two ionic compounds switch places
Acid Base Reactions/ Neutralization Reactions
Double Displacement Reactions in which water is formed
Endothermic
Absorbs heat and becomes cold
Exothermic
Loses heat and becomes hot
Precipitate
A solid that appears from two liquids
Chemical Reactions
A process where reactants are changed into products
