the study of matter

describe the ability of matter to react with another substance to form different substances (combustibility, lack or reactivity)

Q

ionic compound

A

compound made up of oppositely charged ions. consists of positively charged ions, cations, and negatively charged ions, called anions.

13
Q

ionic bond

A

strong attraction that forms between oppositely charged ions. in this, atoms lose or gain electrons to form ions that have full valence shells and are therefore more stable

14

compound that results when 2 or more atoms of non metal elements bond covalently

15
Q

covalent bond

particle made up of two or more atoms bonded by covalent bonds. most covalent compounds exist as molecules

new compounds and new elements

break

19

released

20
Q

closed system

energy and matter can enter or leave

22
Q

law of conservation of mass

A

in a chemical reaction, the total mass of the substances used is equal to the total mass of the substances produced

23
Q

chemical equation

A

the representation of a chemical reaction using words or chemical formulas

24

word equation

A

shows the names of the chemical elements and compounds in a chemical reaction

27
Q

skeleton equation

shows the chemical formulas in a chemical reaction

28

shows the reactants and products in the chemical equation with coefficients

29

many atoms of the same element joined by a covalent bond (S8, P4)

31
Q

subscripts

A

indicate how many atoms of each element are present (in Al2Br3, 2 and 3 are the subscripts)

32
Q

coefficients

A

indicate how many molecules are present (in 2S8, 2 is the coefficient)

33
Q

how do u balance a chemical equation

A

number of atoms on the reactant side must equal number of atoms on product side. law of conservation of mass is reflected in balanced chemical equation. use coefficients in front of chemical formula

34
Q

matter and energy react in __ and __ changes

A

physical and chemical

35
Q

there is a transfer of energy between chemical reactions and the…

A

surroundings

36
Q

energy

A

needed for everyday processes, transferred between system and surroundings. energy that leaves system enters surroundings, energy that enters system came from surroundings

37
Q

activation energy

A

minimum amount of energy needed for reaction to happen

38
Q

in chemical reactions, reactants must…

A

collide with enough energy to break bonds

39
Q

A

chemical reactions

40
Q

A

process that captures sunlight to produce sugar molecules for plants

41
Q

animals that eat plants can use energy stored in sugar through…

A

cellular respiration

42
Q

exothermic reaction

A

chemical reaction in which there is net release of energy to surroundings. temperature increases as energy is released into surroundings

43
Q

endothermic reaction

A

chemical reaction in which there is net absorption of energy from the surroundings. temperature decreases as energy is absorbed by system
