| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Paragraph 1 | Matter can undergo two types or changes- chemical or physical |
| Paragraph 2 | During a chemical change, one or more substances change into new substances |
| Paragraph 3 | A chemical reaction is a process in which atoms of one or more substances rearrange form one or more new substances |
| Paragraph 4 | Physical properties of color, state of matter, and odor are all signs that a chemical reaction might have occurred |
| Paragraph 5 | The only way to know if a chemical reaction has occurred is to study the chemical properties of the substances before and after the change |
| Paragraph 6 | During a chemical reaction, one or more substances react and form one or more new substances |
| Paragraph 7 | There are two types of substances- elements and compounds |
| Paragraph 8 | Atoms rearrange when chemical bonds between atoms break |
| Paragraph 9 | A chemical equation is a description of a reaction using element symbols and chemical formulas |
| Paragraph 10 | Symbols of elements are shown in the periodic table |
| Paragraph11 | when atoms of two or more different elements bond, they form a compound |
| Paragraph 12 | The starting substances in a chemical reaction are reactants. The substances produced by the chemical reaction are products |
| Paragraph 13 | When writing chemical equations, it is important to use correct chemical formulas for the reactants and the products |
| Paragraph 14 | The law of conservation of mass states that the total mass of the reactants before a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass of the products after the chemical reaction |
| Paragraph 15 | During a chemical reaction, bonds break and new bonds form |
| Paragraph 16 | An equation is written so that the number of atoms of each element is the same, or balanced, on each side of the arrow |
| Paragraph 17 | To accurately represent this reaction, the equation needs to be balanced |
| Paragraph 18 | A coefficient is a number placed in front of an element symbol or chemical formula in an equation |
| Paragraph 19 | When no coefficient is present, only one unit of that substance takes part in the reaction |
