QuestionAnswer
what are reactants starting substances in a reaction, bonds in atoms are broken, and energy must be absorbed
what are products new substances formed by a reaction, new bonds are formed, and energy is released
what are atoms the smallest particle of matter
what are elements pure substance made up of only one type of atom
rate of reaction the time taken for a reaction to occur, depepdns on proportion of successful collisions
how does a reaction occur / collision theory particles collide with enough energy to surpass the activation energy threshold, and with the correct orientation
activation energy minimum amount for a reaction to occur
factors effects rate of reaction increase in surface area: increases the freuqency of collsions increase in temp: gives particles kinetic energy for collisions catalyst: provides an alternatte pathway for the collision
characteristics of metals lustrous, malleable, conducts heat + electricity
alkali metals: group 1 metals. charge 1+, highly reactive and increases reactivity as you go down
alkaline metals: charge 2+, very reactive, low melting points, reactivity increases as you go down
characteristics of non-metals groups 4-8, all gases except for bromine, do not conduct heat or electricity well, brittle+dull
what is reactivity: how easy it is for an atom to lose/gain electrons
what happens when you go down a group? atoms are larger, valence electrons are futher from the nucleus therefore its easier to lose them (increases in reactivity)
what happens when you go across a group? reactivity increases right to left, atoms get larger therefore elemets can lose electrons easier
electrons in shell 1, 2, 3, and formula 2, 4, 18, 2n^2
ion: whne an atom gains or loses an electron gains: negatively charged (more electrons than protons) anions loses: positively charged (more protons than electrons) cations
ionic bonds bonds that form when ions interact, held by strong electrostatic forces of attraction
ionic compounds cations and anions in lattice, alternating and in equal amounts (crystal structure)
common traits of ionic compounds -solid at room temp - dissolve in water - brittle : when a force is applied, like charges align which repels eachother, shattering lattice - high melt point
what is aqueous sol the ions in compounds are attraccted to the (-/+) poles in water, dissolving the compound when particles are mobile, electricity conduction is easy
how to calculte neutrons ? atomic mass - atomic number
what are molecular formulas describe the number and type of atoms that join to form the molecule
what are covalent compunds molecules formed when two or more nonmetal atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration
charges in each groups? group 1: 1+ group 2: 2+ group 13: 3+ group 14: 4+- group 15: 3- group 16: 2- group 17: 1-
what is a chemical reaction a reaction occuring when two or more substances come together to form a new substance, energy breaks bonds to form new bonds
what are indicators of a chemical reaction? colour change, temo change, bubbles, new smel
law of conservation of mass: in a chemical reaction, matter in maintained meaning total mass of reactants = total mass of products
types of chemical reactions combination, decomposition, single displacemet, double displacement
what are combination reactions A+B --> AB, two reactants, one product
what are decomposition reactions AB --> A+B
what are single displacement reactions? A+BC --> AC+B more reactive element displaces less reactive element in a compound ** for metals the more reactive one displaces the less reactive one
what are double displacement reactions? AB+CD --> AD+CB two compounds exchange cations to form different compounds , usually occuring in aq sols
precipitation reactions two ionic compounds in aqueous solutions are mixed, ions swap partners and sold precipitate forms aq + aq --> aq + solid
neutralisation reactions acid + base --> salt+water (the acid and base neutralise eachother)
combustion reactions exothermic reaction involving (usually a fuel) substance, reacting with oxygen --> releasing heat and light
