science

TermDefinition
chemistry is the study of the properties of matter and how matter changes
element is a substance that cannot be broken down into any other substance by chemical or physical means
compound is a substance made of two or more elements chemically combined in a specific ration, or proportion
mixture is made from two or more pure substance-elements,compounds,or both-that are in the same place but not combined as a new material
solution is a well-mixed mixture
physical change a change that alters the form or appearance of a material but does not make the material into another substance
chemical change a change in matter that produces new substances
precipitate a solid that forms from solution during a chemical reaction
atom the smallest particle of an element
moleclue the combination of two or more atoms
chemical bond the force that holds atoms together
chemical equation is a shorter,easier way to show chemical reactions, using symbols instead of words
symbol most elements are represented by a one-letter or two-letter symbol
chemical formula a compound is represented by a "word" called a chemical formula which shows the ratio of elements
subscript show the number of atoms of an element in a molecule
reactants the materials you have at the beginning of a chemical reaction
products when the reaction is complete, you have different materials
conservation of matter the principle stating that matter is not created or destroyed during a chemical reaction
coefficient is a number in front of a chemical formula in the equation
synthesis when two or more substances (elements or compounds) combine to make a more complex substance
decomposition reaction breaks down compounds into simpler products
replacement reaction a reaction in which one element replaces another in a compound or in which two elements in different compounds trade places
exothermic reaction a reaction that releases energy in the from of heat
endothermic reacton A reaction that absorbs energy
activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that has to be added to start a reaction
concentration is the amount of one material in a given volume of another material
catalyst is a material that increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy
enzymes provide a surface on which reactions take place
inhibitor a material used to decrease the rate of a reaction
combustion is a rapid reaction between oxygen and a substance called fuel
fuel is a material that releases energy when it burns

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
