| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemical Formula | states the number of atoms of each element in a compound |
| Periodic Table | shows the atomic symbol or abbreviation for each element |
| Subscript | number written slightly lower after an atomic symbol and states the number of atoms for that element |
| Atomic Symbol with No Subscript | states there is only one atom of the element |
| Total Number of Atoms in a Molecule | Count the atoms of each element and add the numbers |
| Reactants | found on the left side of the arrow in a chemical reaction |
| Products | found on the right side of the arrow in a chemical reaction |
| Evidence of a Chemical Reaction | *production of gas or bubbles *changes in temperature *production of a precipitate (solid formed) *color change *formation of a new substance *produces light |
| Law of Conservation of Mass | in a chemical reaction , the mass of the reactants will equal the mass of the products |
| Law of Conservation of Mass | in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms for the reactant side will equal the number of atoms on the product side |
