Reactant A chemical that reacts with another chemical and forms a new product
Product A new substance formed through a chemical reaction
Chemical Equation A representation of the types and amounts of all atoms present in a chemical reaction
Balanced Chemical Equation A chemical equation written to account for every atom in equal amounts on both the reactant and the product side of a reaction
Combustion Reaction A reaction where something reacts with oxygen to produce CO2 and H2O
Synthesis Reaction Two or more substances combine to form a new substance
Decomposition Reaction A substance is broken down into two or more simpler substances
Single Displacement Reaction A single atom or ion takes the place of another in a compound.
Double Displacement Reaction Two compounds switch ions with each other
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction Reactions centered around the gaining or losing of electrons
Activation Energy The minimum amount of energy required to start a reaction
Exergonic Reaction A reaction that produces energy because the formation of new bonds in the products releases more energy than it took to break the bonds in the reactants
Endergonic Reaction A reaction that absorbs energy because it takes more energy to break the bonds in the reactants than is released when the new product bonds are formed
Exothermic Reaction A reaction that releases energy mostly as thermal energy
Endothermic Reaction A reaction that absorbs thermal energy
Reaction Rate The speed at which a chemical reaction occurs
Catalyst Anything that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed itself in the reaction

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
