The element names and # of valence electrons for F, Cl, Br, I, At.
What is Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, and Astatine. They have 7 valence electrons.

Balance this equation: H2 + O2 ---> H2O
What is 2H2 + O2 ---> 2H2O
100
The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction. Why is it needed? How much is needed?
What is Activation energy. The energy is used to break the chemical bonds of the reactants. Then, the atoms begin to form the new chemical bonds of the products. All chemical reactions need a certain amount of activation energy to get started. Some only need an electric spark.
100
A solution in which more solute may be dissolved.
What is unsaturated solution.

The element names and # of valence electrons for Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr.
What is Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, and Francium. They have 1 valence electron.

Balance this: N2 + H2 --> NH3
What is N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3

Name these two materials that oppose each other in their rate of reaction. One material use to increase the rate of reaction and decrease the rate of reaction. Explain how.
What is Catalyst & Inhibitor. Catalysts are materials that increase the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy. Although catalysts affect a reactions's rate, they aren't permanently changed by a reaction. Biological catalysts, or enzymes, decrease the reaction temperature. They provide a surface on which reactions take place. By bringing reactant molecules close together, the enzyme lowers the activation energy needed. Inhibitors are materials used to decrease the rate of a reaction. Sometimes a reaction is more useful when it can be slowed down rather that sped up. Most inhibitors work by preventing reactants from coming together. Usually they combine with one of the reactants, either permanently, or temporarily.

One is increases reaction rate by heating particles. The other increases the reaction rate by increasing the amount of the substance.
What is temperature and concentration. Temperature is a way to increase the reaction speed. When you heat a substance, the particles move faster. Faster-moving particles increase the reaction rate in two ways. First, the particles come in contact more often, which means there are more chances for a reaction to happen. Second, faster-moving particles have more energy. This increased energy causes more particles of the reactants to get over the activation energy "hump." Concentration is the amount of a substance in a given volume. It increases the rate of the reaction. It supplies more particles to react. The reaction is slower with less concentration then with more.

What is 2Al + Fe2O3 --> Al2O3 + 2Fe
400
How do you change the rate of a reaction with its surface area?
What is When a chunk of solid substance reacts with a liquid or gas, only the particles on the surface of the solid come into contact with the other reactant. But if you break the solid into smaller pieces, more particles are exposed and the reaction happens faster. Sometimes, speeding up a reaction this way is dangerous. Other times, increasing surface area can be useful.

Compare endothermic and exothermic reactions.
What is... Exothermic reactions need activation energy to get started. At the end of the reaction, the the products have less energy than the reactants. Examples are burning fuel, such as wood, natural gas, or oil. Endothermic reactions also need activation energy, but they need it throughout the entire reaction. The energy of the products is higher than that of the reactants. The reaction must absorb energy to continue. Examples are the reaction of vinegar and baking soda. Every chemical reaction needs activation energy to get it started. Whether or not a reaction needs still more energy from the environment to keep going depends on if it is exothermic or endothermic.
