Question | Answer |
---|---|
The electrons involved in chemical bonding. | Valence |
An atom or group of atoms that has a charge because it lost or gained an electron. | Ion |
A bond that forms from the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. | Ionic Bond |
Ionic bonds occur between these type of elements. | Metals and Nonmetals |
This bond forms when atoms share valence electrons. | Covalent Bond |
Covalent bonds occur between these type of elements. | Nonmetals |
Properties of covalent compounds. | Low melting points, poor conductors |
A covalent compound with slightly charged ends. | A polar molecule. |
Starting materials in a chemical reaction. | Reactants |
Materials you're left with after a chemical reaction's finished. | Product |
A reaction that releases energy. | Exothermic |
A reaction that absorbs energy. | Endothermic |
Two or more substances combine to make a more complex substance. | Synthesis Reaction |
A complex substance is broken down into 2 or more simpler substances. | Decomposition Reaction |
The mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products. | Law of Conservation of Mass |
The amount of energy needed to get a reaction started. | Activation Energy |
A substance that speeds up a reaction without being changed. | Catalyst |
Part of reactant that's facing outward and is available to react. | Surface Area |
The idea that reactant molecules must collide with a certain amount of energy to react and form products. | Collision Theory |
A solid that forms from liquids during a chemical reaction. | Precipitate |
