Unit 2 Learning

Unit 2 Learning Statements - Chemical Formulas & Reactions

QuestionAnswer
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
Reactants elements and compounds located on the left side of the arrow in a chemical reaction
Products elements and compounds located on the right side of the arrow in a chemical reaction
Atom the smallest part of matter that has distinct physical and chemical properties
Atom Consists of a nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons, and electron cloud, which contains electrons
Chemical Change a type of change in which a new substance is made from one or more previous substances
Chemical Change a change where the atoms of the original substance are rearranged to make new elements and/or compunds
Chemical Reaction a chemical change that occurs when two or more substances combine to form a new substance
Chemical Reaction the rearrangement of atoms to produce new compounds with different physical and chemical properties
Closed System a physical system that does not allow the transfer of matter in or out, although energy can flow into or out of the substance
Matter Substance that occupies space, has mass, and is composed of microscopic particles
Periodic Table an organizational chart of all the known elements on Earth, organized based on the physical and chemical properties of each
Property Characteristic of metal that can be used to identify particular materials
Subscript Small number behind a chemical symbol which tells you the number of atoms
Coefficient Large number in front of a chemical formula that is multiplied to all elements
Counting Atoms Multiply coefficients by subscripts to find the total number of atoms
Chemical Symbol Abbreviation for an element on the periodic table
Chemical Symbol Contains 1 capital letter; elements symbols may contain one lowercase letter beside the capital letter
Law of Conservation of Mass Mass is not created or destroyed.
Law of Conservation of Mass Example : Balanced equations where the number of atoms in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms in the products
Law of Conservation of Mass Example : A chemical reaction where the mass of chemicals in grams is equal to the mass of chemicals in the products. In a closed system, any gas produced is captured so that no product escapes and is included in the mass measurement.
Law of Conservation of Mass # of atoms in the reactants = # of atoms in the products
Law of Conservation of Mass Mass of reactants equals mass of products
metals found on the lefts side of the periodic table
metals high electrical and thermal conductivity, malleability ( ability to be hammered into thin sheets), ductility ( ability to be drawn into thin wires), and metallic luster (shininess)
metals solid at room temperature , have high melting points, and are dense, although some exceptions like mercury (a liquid) exist
nonmetals found on the right side of the periodic table
nonmetals poor conductors of heat and electricity, are brittle solids, and lack metallic luster
rare earth metals 17 metallic elements - the 15 lanthanides plus scandium and yttrium
rare earth metals crucial for modern technologies like electronics, wind turbines, and electric vehicles - Abundant but hard to find
metalloids found on the zig zag line between metals and nonmetals on the periodic table
photosynthesis light energy converted into the chemical energy of glucose
photosynthesis reactants - water and carbon dioxide products - glucose and oxygen

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
