| Term | Definition |
|
occurs when an element or chemical group breaks the bond of another chemical group or element making a new product or products |
displacement |
|
occurs when there is a rapid exothermic combination of substances with oxygen |
combustion |
|
occurs when chemical bonds of a chemical are broken due to heat or light. large compounds will break apart into smaller compouds or elements. |
decomposition |
|
where energy is absorbed. the product's temperature is colder than the reactant's. |
endothermic |
|
occurs when the chemical reaction releases heat. products become warmer than the reactant's. |
exothermic |
|
a chemical that changes the rate of a reaction by making it go faster. the catlyst does not take part in the reaction and is still present when the reaction is complete. a catalyst works by providing a conveinient surface on which the reactants collude more frequently. |
catalysts |
|
increase the temperature of the reactants, increase the surface area of the reactants/make a solid into a fine powder, increase the concentration of the reactants, adding a catalyst. |
factors that enhance a chemical reaction |
|
new chemicals are produced, the color changed |
events that occur when a chemical reaction takes place |
|
hydrogen ion donors, tastes sour, turns litmus paper red, pH values 1-7, the lower the pH value the stronger the acid |
acids |
|
hydroxylion (OH) or carbonate (CO3) donors, tastes bitter, feels slippery |
base |
|
matter that has a definite shape and volume |
solid |
|
matter that has a definite volume but no definite shape |
liquid |
|
matter that has no definite shape or volume |
gas |
|
matter at high energy, most common state of matter in the universe |
plasma |
|
when a substance doesn't change the chemical structure or composition |
physical change |
|
a physical process to determine what type of substances have been mixed together by separating them from one another |
chromatography |
|
the rate (speed) at which a solute dissolves in the presence of a solvent. the higher the solubility, the highter the point on a piece of chromatography paper |
solubility |
|
a substance that can be physically seperated |
mixture |
|
phase change, gas to liquid |
condensation |
|
phase change, liquid to gas |
vaporization |
|
phase change, solid to gas |
sublimation |
|
phase change, gas to solid |
deposition |
|
something that stays elevated |
suspension |
|
something that dissolves |
solute |
|
something that dissolves something else |
solvent |
|
mixture of solute and solvent |
solution |
|
weak solution |
diluted |
|
strong solution |
concentrated |
|
conducted to identify the metal cations in a solution |
flame testing |
|
center of the atom, contains protons and neutrons |
nucleas |
|
subatomic particle orbiting around the nucleas, negative charge |
electron |
|
two or more different elements that have been chemically bonded together. |
compound |
|
pure substance of simplest form |
element |
|
2 or more substances mixed but can easily be seperated |
mixture |
|
how many electrons an element will take or give up |
oxidation state |
|
meants the element will take electrons from another element |
negative valence |
|
element gives up electrons |
positive valence |
|
formed in outermost electron shell of atom |
chemical bonds |
|
when two atoms share their outermost electrons |
covalent |
|
when atoms share their outermost electrons and the two atoms are metals |
metallic covalent |
|
when one atom transfers its outermost electrons to another atom, opposite charges |
ionic |
|
elements that will not bond with other elements |
noble or inert gases |
|
mixture of metals with is prepared in molten (liquid) state |
alloy |
|
charged particle when an atom gains or looses more electrons |
ions |
|
positively charged particle |
cation |
|
negatively charged particle |
anion |
|
colorless and odorless fas that doesn't aid in combustion, flame will go out |
carbon dioxide |
|
colorless, odorless gas that will make a flame burn brighter and faster |
oxygen |
|
colorless gas that will burn when oxygen is present |
acetylene |
|
a colorless gas that will explode in presence of a fire or spark |
hydrogen |
|
a gas that is produced during a chemical reaction |
effervescence |
|
an insoluble solid that forms when solutions are mixed together |
precipitant |
|
two or more simple substances combine to create a new, more complex substance |
