2.4 Chem. Reactions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical Reactions | Change substances by breaking and forming chemical bonds |
| Reactant | The substance you start off with |
| This changes during a chemical reaction | A reactant |
| Product | The substance you end up with |
| This is the goal of a chemical reaction | Products |
| Bond energy | the amount of energy in a bond |
| This is at equilibrium when reactants and products form at the same ate | Reaction |
| This releases or absorbs energy | Chemical Reaction |
| Activation energy | The amount of energy that needs to be absorbed to start a chemical reaction |
| Exothermic Reactions | Release more than they absorb |
| This is released by the changing reactants | Excess Energy |
| This has lower bond energies than reactions | Products |
| Endothermic Reactions | Absorb energy |
