        Help!  

Question
Answer
Subscript   small number written to the right of an element; tells you how many atoms of that element you have. Chemical reaction  
🗑
Law of conservation of matter   says that matter cannot be created or destroyed.  
🗑
Reactants   substances used up in a chemical reaction.  
🗑
Products   new substances made in a chemical reaction.  
🗑
Coefficient   large number placed before a molecule in a chemical reaction; this number “multiplies each element in that formula”  
🗑
Chemical formula   identifies each element by its chemical symbol and indicates the number of atoms of each element found in each discrete molecule of that compound.  
🗑
Subscript   small number written to the right and below the chemical symbol if a molecule contains more than one atom of a particular element.  
🗑
Combustion   burning; a complex sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat or both heat and light.  
🗑
Balanced equation   the law of conservation of matter demands that we have the same numbers of each element’s atoms on both sides of the equation.  
🗑
