Term
Definition
chemical equations   A combination of chemical formulas and symbols that models a chemical reaction.  
🗑
chemical equilibrium   The state that occurs when forward and reverse reactions each happen at the same rate.  
🗑
chemical reaction   A process that rearranges the atoms in one or more substances into one or more new substances.  
🗑
coefficient   A number placed in front of a chemical formula within a chemical equation that shows how many units of a reactant or product are needed to balance the chemical equation.  
🗑
collision model   The model that states that for a reaction to occur, the reactant particles must collide with each other, with the proper alignment, and with enough energy.  
🗑
combustion   An exothermic chemical reaction in which a fuel reacts with oxygen.  
🗑
decomposition reaction   A chemical reaction in which a single reactant breaks down into two or more products.  
🗑
double-replacement reactions   A chemical reaction in which two ionic compounds swap cations or anions with each other; also known as double-displacement reaction.  
🗑
endothermic reactions   A chemical reaction that absorbs more thermal energy than it releases.  
🗑
exothermic reactions   A chemical reaction that releases more thermal energy than it absorbs.  
🗑
inhibitor   A substance that slows the rate of a reaction by reducing the effectiveness of catalysts.  
🗑
law of conservation of energy   The law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but only transferred between objects or transformed; also known as the first law of thermodynamics.  
🗑
LeChatelier's principle   The principle that states that a chemical system in equilibrium will adjust its equilibrium position in such a way as to reduce the effect of any changes made to the system.  
🗑
molar mass   The mass of one mole of a substance.  
🗑
mole   SI fundamental unit for the quantity of matter in a substance; a count equal to 6.022 x 10 to the 23rd power.  
🗑
oxidation   A loss of electrons in a chemical reaction.  
🗑
product   A substance that is formed during a chemical reaction.  
🗑
reactant   A substance that enters into a chemical reaction.  
🗑
reaction rate   The speed of reaction.  
🗑
reduction   A gain of electrons in a chemical reaction.  
🗑
reversible reaction   A reaction in which the products can react together to re-form the original reactants.  
🗑
single-replacement reactions   A chemical reaction in which one element in a compound is replaced by another element; also known as a single-displacement reaction.  
🗑
synthesis reaction   A chemical reaction in which two or more reactants combine into a single, more complex product.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
