🗑
ion   A charged particle that is formed when electrons are gained or lost  
🗑
isotopes   Atoms of the same element with different number of neutrons  
🗑
atomic number   The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
mass number   The sum of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom  
🗑
atomic mass   The average of the masses in an element’s isotopes

noble gases   Relatively inactive inert elements found in group 18  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Mass   A law that states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products  
🗑
chemical reaction   A process in which bonds break apart and combine into new kinds of matter with different properties  
🗑
reactant   The starting substances in a chemical reaction  
🗑
product   The new substance(s) that are formed in a chemical reaction  
🗑
precipitate   A solid that separates from a solution  
🗑
activation energy   The energy required to break the bonds in a chemical reaction  
🗑

🗑
endothermic reaction   A chemical reaction that absorbs energy  
🗑
chemical symbol   A one or two letter abbreviation for an element  
🗑
chemical formula   A group of symbols that shows the makeup for a compound  
🗑


   

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.
