OVERALL REVIEWER Flashcards
A ____________ is the symbolic REPRESENTATION of a chemical change in the form of symbols and formula.
Chemical Equation
A __________ tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound.
Chemical formula
A process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products
Chemical Reactions
Type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants form a single product. Also called as synthetic reaction.
A + B -> AB
Combination Reaction
Involves the breakdown of a single reactant into two or more products.
AB -> A + B
Decomposition Reaction
More active substance is a compound. Also called as substitution reaction.
A + BX -> AX + B
Single Replacement Reaction
Switching of the cations and anions of two reactants. Also called as ionic reaction.
AX + BY -> AY + BX
Double Replacement Reaction
Reaction of oxygen with a substance in the presence of heat.
O2
Combustion Reaction
A _________________ shows the exact number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a substance.
Molecular Formula
The ________________ tells us which elements are present and the simplest whole-number ration of their atoms, but not necessarily the actual number of atoms in a given molecule.
Empirical Formula
atoms that contain an uneven number of protons and electrons which results in an overall positive or negative change
ions
atoms that contain positive charge
cation
atoms that contain negative charge
anion
__________are single neutral particles.
atoms
______________ are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.
molecules
