Law of Conservation of Mass
in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is the same as the total mass of the products
Law of Constant Proportions
in chemical compounds the ratio of the elements is always the same
exothermic
chemical reactions that give out heat energy
endothermic
chemical reactions that absorb heat energy from the surroundings
chemical energy
energy stored in chemical bonds that is released during chemical reactions
chemical process
a reaction that changes the arrangement of the atoms or molecules of the substances involved
synthesis reactions
synthesis reactions occur when two chemicals combine to form one larger particle
decomposition reaction
decomposition reactions occur when one chemical compound breaks up to from two or more smaller chemicals.
