chemical reactions
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| decomposition Reaction | a compound breaks down into simpler substances |
| activation energy | what is needed to start a chemical reaction |
| arrow | yields |
| characteristics of a chemical reaction | changes in energy or changes in properties (produce a gas) (bubbles form) theirs color change |
| chemical changes | alter the chemical properties of matter |
| chemical equations | a shorter and easier way to show chemical reactions |
| coefficient | a number placed in front of a number |
| conservation of mass | the amount of matter involved in a chemical reaction does not change the total mass |
| endothermic reaction | is an observable change in energy |
| exothermic reaction | is an observable change in energy that shows a chemical reaction took place |
| physical change | alter only the physical properties of matter which means no new substances were formed |
| preipitate | a solid that form"s from solution during a chemical reaction |
| product | the materials you have after a chemical reaction |
| reactants | the materials you have after a chemical reaction at the begining |
| replacement reaction | one part of a compound |
