Chemical Change Evidence

Chemical Change Detectives
100


These elements are usually shiny and good conductors of heat and electricity.

Metals

100

Elements that are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity are called these.

Nonmetals

100


These are a group of elements found in the two rows commonly displayed below the main periodic table.

Rare earth metals

100


Bubbles forming during a reaction can be evidence of the production of this.

Gas

100


If two substances react and bubbles appear, this may indicate that a new substance is forming

Gas

200

Copper is used in electrical wires because it is able to __________ electricty

Conduct

200


This classification of elements has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

Metalloids

200

Rare Earth elements are important to this part of modern life because they are used in many electronic devices.

Technology

200


A reaction that causes something to become hotter or colder shows a change in this.

Thermal Energy
200

A student mixes two substances and notices the container gets warmer. This is evidence of a change in this

Thermal Energy

300

This is a chart that shows all the elements in the universe

The Periodic Table
300


Silicon is commonly classified as this because it has properties between those of metals and nonmetals.

Metalloids

300

Rare Earth metals are generally this type of element: metal, nonmetal, or metalloid.

Metals

300


A change from one color to another during a reaction can be evidence of this

Unexpected color change
300

Two clear liquids are mixed and a solid suddenly appears. What evidence of chemical change has occurred?

Precipitate

400


This property allows many metals to be hammered or shaped without breaking.

Malleability

400


An element that is dull and a poor conductor is most likely in this classification.

Nonmetals

400

Rare Earth metals are generally good conductors of this

Electricity

400


When an insoluble solid forms during a reaction, that solid is called this

Precipitate

400

A clear liquid changes from blue to yellow after two substances are mixed. This observation can be evidence of what?

Unexpected color change

500

This property is when elements reflects light well

Luster

500


If an element has some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals, scientists would classify it as this.

Metalloid

500


This category of elements is especially important in many modern technologies because of their useful physical properties

Rare Earth Elements

500


Gas production, a thermal energy change, a precipitate, and a color change can all be evidence of this

Chemical Change

500


A student mixes two liquids. The mixture changes color, becomes warm, and produces a solid. What do these observations suggest?

Unexpected Color change

Unexpected temp change
