| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Avogardro's Number | The number of atoms in the atomic mass of an element, or the number of molecules in the formula mass of a compound when these masses are expressed in grams. |
| Chemical Bond | an attraction between two or more different atoms that includes atoms that binds them together. |
| Chemical Formula | a representation of a compound that includes the symbols and numbers of atoms in the compound. |
| Covalent Bond | a type of chemical bond that is formed when to atoms share electrons. |
| Diatomic Molecule | a molecule that has only two atoms of the same element. |
| Energy Level | a region around the nucleus of an atom where electrons are most likely to be found; only a certain number of electrons can be found in each energy level of an atom. |
| Formula Mass | determined by adding up the atomic mass units of all the atoms in the compound; a way to compare the masses of molecules of different compounds. |
| Ionic Bond | a type of chemical bond between atoms that gained or lost electrons; a bond between ions. |
| Ion | an atom that has an electrical charge. |
| Monatomic Ion | ions that contain only one type of atom. |
| Octet | an atom's eight valence electrons. |
| Polyatomic Ion | ions that contain more than one type of atom. |
| Polymer | a large molecule that is composed of repeating smaller molecules called subunits and monomers. |
| Subscript | a number in a chemical formula that shows the number of a type of atom. |
| Valence Electrons | the electrons in an atom that are involved in the formation of chemical bonds. |
| Balance | occurs when the number and type of atoms on the reactant's and product's sides of a chemical equation are equal. |
| Chemical Change | a change in a substance that involves the breaking and reforming of chemical bods to make a new substance or substances. |
| Chemical Equation | chemical formulas and symbols that represent a chemical reaction. |
| Chemical Reaction | the breaking of bonds to form new substance (called the products); atoms are rearranged in a chemical reaction. |
| Coefficient | a number placed in front of a chemical formula to make the number of atoms on each side of a chemical equation equal. |
| Conservation of atoms or Conservation of Mass | principle that states the number of each type of atom on the reactant's side must be equal to the number of each type of atom on the product's side of a chemical equation. |
| Excess Reactants | a reactant that is not completely used up. |
| Hydrochloric Acid | a highly acidic substance your stomach normally produces to help you break down food. |
| Limiting Reactant | the reactant that is used up first in a chemical reaction. |
| Percent Yield | the actual yield of product in a chemical reaction divided by the predicted yield, and multiplied by one hundreds to get a percent. |
| Physical Change | change in the physical properties of a substance. |
| Product | substance that are produced in a chemical reaction from reactants. |
| Reactant | a substance that enters into and is altered in the course of a chemical reaction. |
| Addition Reaction | a chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound. |
| Combustion Reaction | a reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen, releasing large amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. |
| Decomposition Reaction | a chemical reaction in which a single compound is broken down to produce two or more smaller compounds. |
| Dissolution Reaction | a reaction that occurs when an ionic compound dissolves in water to make an ionic solution. |
| Double - Displacement Reaction | a reaction in which ions from two compounds in a solution exchange places to produce two new compounds. |
| Exothermic Reaction | occurs when less energy is required to break the bonds in reactants that is released when bonds are formed to make new products. |
| Insoluble | a term to describe a substance that does not dissolve in water. |
| Polymerization | the production of a very large molecule by a series of synthesis reactions. |
| Precipitate | substance formed when one of the compounds in a double - displacement reaction is insoluble, or does not dissolve in water. |
| Single - Displacement Reaction | a reaction which one element replaces a similar element in a compound. |
