What can you detect in a chemical reaction?
color change, odor, energy, precipitate
Law of Conservation of mass
an atom can’t be made or destroyed
Should the equation be balanced?
Yes
Splitting of a chemical bond
Bond Cleavage
Types of bond cleavage
Homolytic and heterolytic
Bond cleavage where there is EQUAL DIVISON
HOMOLYTIC CLEAVAGE (RADICAL)
Bond cleavage where one atom get SHARED ELECTRONS
HETEROLYTIC CLEAVAGE (IONIC)
Utilizes LIGHT TO SYMMETRICALLY break the bond: SAME electron
HOMOLYTIC CLEAVAGE
SYMMETRICAL BREAKING OF BONDS OR FORMATION
HOMO
SUBSTANCE THAT UNDERGOES A REACTION
SUBSTRATE
