Periodic Table An arrangement of elements in order of increasing atomic numbers that demonstrates the periodic patterns that occur among the elements.
Physical Properties A characteristic of a substance that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance
Reactivity The ability of an atom or molecule to undergo a chemical reaction with another atom, molecule or compound.
Reactants the starting materials in a reaction
Chemical bond the "glue" that attracts and keeps atoms held together due to sharing of each atom's electrons
Chemical change the process in which one or more substances are changed into one or more new substances
