speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy needed | catalyst |
having 1 atom | monatomic |
having 2 atoms | diatomic |
having 4 atoms | tetratomic |
states that mass is not created or destroyed in chemical reaction [ # of atoms must be same on both sides ] | law of conservation of mass |
AB --> A + B [reaction type] | decomposition reaction |
A + B --> AB [reaction type] | synthesis reaction |
AB + C --> CB + A [reaction type] | single replacement reaction |
AB + CD --> AD + CB [reaction type] | double replacement reaction |
CxHy + O2 --> CO2 + H2O [reaction type] | combustion reaction |
chemical equation that is not balanced | skeleton |
numbers placed in front to balance equation by multiplying | coefficients |
small numbers written after atom/compound that tells the number of atoms [is NEVER changed to balance] | subscripts |
