What is a physical change
A characteristic of matter that you can observe or measure without changing the identity of the matter (changing the states of matter)
Chemichal change is..
A change in matter in which the substances thY make up the matter change into other substances with different chemical and physical properties. (Foaming, fizzing, temperature changes,colors changes, fire)
What’s an endothermic reaction
Chemical reaction that absorb thermal energy
What’s an exothermic reaction?
Chemical reaction that release thermal energy.
What is a catalyst
Substances that increase the reaction rate
What is an Inhibitor
Substances that decrease the reaction rate
What increases reaction rate
Surface area, concentration/pressure, temperature
What is synthesis
Two or more substances combine to form a new compound
Ca+O–CaO
What is decomposition
One compound breaks down and forms and forms two or more substances
AlCl—Al+ Cl
What is combustion
A chemical reaction in which a substance combines oxygen and releases energy
What is a single replacement
One element replaces another element in a compound
What is a double replacement
Two or more substances switch, forming a new compound
