Question
Answer
Law of Conservation of Mass   the principle that matter cannot be created or destroyed.  
🗑
Physical Change   a usually reversible change in the physical properties of a substance, as size or shape  
🗑
Chemical Change   a usually irreversible chemical reaction involving the rearrangement of the atoms of one or more substances and a change in their chemical properties or composition, resulting in the formation of at least one new substance  
🗑
Element   one of a class of substances that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means  
🗑
Chemical Formula   a representation of a substance using symbols for its constituent elements  
🗑
Element (Diatomic) Molecule   having two of the same atoms in the molecule  
🗑
Compound Molecule   a pure substance composed of two or more elements whose composition is constant  
🗑
Chemical Equation   a representation of a chemical reaction using symbols of the elements to indicate the amount of substance, usually in moles, of each reactant and product  
🗑
Chemical Reaction   A rearrangement of the atoms or molecules of two or more substances that come into contact with each other, resulting in the formation of one or more new substances.  
🗑
Reactants   any substance that undergoes a chemical change in a given reaction  
🗑
Products   a substance obtained from another substance through chemical change  
🗑
Coefficient   States the number of molecules of the certain molecule it is in front of  
🗑
Subscript   Number written under the certain atom, states the number of atoms of the element it is underneath  
🗑
Ionic Compound   a chemical compound of cations and anions which are held together by ionic bonds in a lattice structure  
🗑
Covalent Compound   A compound made of molecules- not ions. The atoms in the compound are bound together by shared electrons. Also called a molecular compound.  
🗑
Metallic Compound   Compounds that contain at least one metallic element.  
🗑
Synthesis   the forming or building of a more complex substance or compound from elements or simpler compounds.  
🗑
Decomposition   A reaction in which a compound is broken down into simpler compounds or elements. Compounds sometimes decompose if heated strongly or if subjected to a strong electric current  
🗑
Single Replacement   A reaction of the form A + BC = B + AC. For example, zinc displaces hydrogen from hydrochloric acid in the following reaction: Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g).  
🗑
Double Replacement   A double displacement or metathesis is a reaction in which two reactants trade fragments: AB + CD = AC + BD Most commonly, the fragments are ions, e. g. AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) = AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)  
🗑


   

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.
