Question
Answer
Activation Energy   The energy needed upon collision to break apart the bonds of the reacting molecules  
🗑
Avagadro's Number   The number of items in a mole equal to 6.02 x 10^23  
🗑
Balanced equation   Final form of a chemical equation that shows the same number of atoms of each element in the reactants and products  
🗑
Catalyst   A substance that increases the rate of reaction by lowering the activation energy  
🗑
Chemical Change   The formation of a new substance with a different composition and different properties than the initial change  
🗑
Chemical Equation   A shorthand way to represent a chemical reaction using chemical formulas to indicate the reactants, products and coefficient to show reacting ratios  
🗑
Chemical Reaction   The process by which a chemical change takes place  
🗑
Coefficients   Whole number placed in front of the formulas to balance the number of atoms or moles of atoms of each element on both sides of an equation  
🗑
Combination Reaction   A reaction in which reactants combine to form a single product  
🗑
Decomposition Reaction   A reaction in which a single reactant splits into two or more simpler substances  
🗑
Double Replacement Reaction   A reaction in which parts of two different reactants exchange place  
🗑
Endothermic Reaction   A reaction that requires heat; the energy of the product is higher than the energy of the reactants  
🗑
Exothermic Reaction   A reaction that releases heat; the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants  
🗑
Formula Unit   The group of ions represented by the formula of an ionic compound  
🗑
Molar Mass   The mass, in grams, of 1 mole of an element equal numerically to the atomic mass. The molar mass of a compound is equal to the sum of the masses of the elements multiplied by their subscripts of the formula  
🗑
Mole   A group of atoms, molecules, or formula units that contain 6.02 x 10^23 of these items  
🗑
Mole-Mole Factor   A conversion factor that relates the number of moles of two compounds derived from the coefficients in an equation  
🗑
Oxidation   The loss of electrons of a substance. Biological oxidation may involve the addition of oxygen or the loss of hydrogen  
🗑
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction   A reaction in which the oxidation of one reactant is always accompanied by the reduction of another reactant  
🗑
Physical Change   A change in which the physical appearance of a substance changes but the chemical composition stays the same  
🗑
Products   The substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction  
🗑
Reactants   The initial substances that undergo change in a chemical reaction  
🗑
Reduction   The gain of electrons by a substance. Biological reduction may involve the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen  
🗑
Single Replacement Reaction   A reaction in which an element replaces a different element in a compound.  
🗑
