| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Law of Conservation of Mass | A relation stating that in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products equals the mass of the reactants. |
| Chemical Change | Where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. |
| Physical Change | A substance doesn't change what the substance is. |
| Chemical Formula | A representation of a substance using symbols for its constituent elements. |
| Element (diatomic) Molecule | Molecules composed only of two atoms, of either the same or different chemical elements. |
| Compound Molecule | A compound made of 2 or more nonmetal elements. |
| Chemical Equation | Shorthand form for writing what reactants are used and what products are formed in a chemical reaction ; sometimes shows whether energy is produced or absorbed. |
| Chemical Reaction | Process that produces chemical change, resulting in new substances that have properties different from those of the original substances. |
| Reactants (in form of a chemical equation) | Substance that exists before a chemical reaction begins. |
| Products (in form of a chemical equation) | Substance that forms as a result of a chemical reaction. |
| Coefficient (in form of a chemical equation) | The number of molecules of reactants or products. 2 H2 + O2 > 2 H2O |
| Subscript (in form of a chemical equation) | Numbers used to tell you how many atoms of an element are present in the equation. Water H20 has 2 atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. |
| Element | One of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances. |
