100

Describe the # of atoms in a molecule.

Subscript

100

To balance a chemical equation, you must have the same number of these of each element.

Atoms

100

Oxygen has this many valence electrons.

6

100

Changes the form or appearance of a substance.

Does not change substance into anything new

Physical Change

100

Newton's 2nd Law

F=MA

200

Represents the number of molecules.

Coefficient

200

An electron dot diagram provides information on the number of these on an element.

Valence Electrons

200

Oxygen has this many electron shells.

2

200

When two or more substances join to form new substances with new chemical properties.

Chemical Change

200

Never ever ever ever ever change this in a chemical equation.

SUBSCRIPT!

300

Elements or compounds which exist PRIOR to a chemical reaction.

Reactants

300

If a chemical equation is unbalanced, you can only change this to make it balanced.

Coefficient

300

These elements are unique because they only want 2 valence electrons to be stable.

Hydrogen and Helium

300

A chemical reaction between substances, usually including oxygen gives off these two things.

Heat and Light

300

The measure of the change in velocity during a period of time.

Acceleration

400

New substances that are created by the rearranging of atoms after a chemical reaction.

Products

400

Matter (atoms) can neither be created nor destroyed.  Atoms can only be rearranged.

Law of Conservation of Mass

400

Balance this


NaBr  + CaF2 🡪 NaF  + CaBr2

2NaBr  + CaF2 🡪 2NaF  + CaBr2

400

When gases produced in a chemical reaction are released you get these.

Bubbles

400

The total momentum of a group of objects remains the same unless outside forces act on the objects.

The Law of Conservation of Momentum 

500

In a chemical formula, this represents a chemical reaction.

Arrow
