Give 1 example of an endothermic reaction AND 1 example of an exothermic reaction

Endothermic: Photosynthesis, cooking, anything that requires energy

Exothermic: Turning on a light bulb, turning on the stove, anything that releases energy

(See Mr. Harris for other acceptable answers)

In order for an ionic bond to form metallic atoms must do this for a nonmetallic atom

What is donate an electron?

Tommy pours baking soda into a bottle of vinegar and it causes a balloon to inflate. He determines this is an exothermic reaction because gas was released in the process and the bottle was cold. Is his reasoning correct? Why or why not?

What is no? Gas is matter not energy. The cold temperature shows that energy was not released. If heat energy was released the bottle would have been warm.

 A student combined table salt and hydrogen peroxide in a beaker, added small pieces of steel, and placed a thermometer in the beaker. After one minute, the student measured the mass of the contents in the beaker. The student measured the contents in the beaker again at 10 minutes and discovered the mass had decreased slightly. The student's observations are shown in the table.

There is evidence of an exothermic reaction because ____________

The temperature increased

500

An atom of this element has 2 protons in its nucleus


What is helium?

500

Name one element that would have some metallic properties and some nonmetallic properties?


What is Boron, Silicon, Germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium or Polonium?

500

Atoms are stable. Once an atom loses or gains an electron it becomes charged. An atom with a charge is known as this

What is an ion?

500

Challenge: Think of a process that would start as an exothermic reaction but end as an endothermic reaction

What is turning on the stove to cook

Turning on the stove would be exothermic, but once you use the heat to cook it becomes endothermic.

 The student combined table salt and hydrogen peroxide in a beaker, added small pieces of steel, and placed a thermometer in the beaker. After one minute, the student measured the mass of the contents in the beaker. The student measured the contents in the beaker again at 10 minutes and discovered the mass had decreased slightly. The student's observations are shown in the table.

In the example above hydrogen peroxide and table salt would both be considered ______

What are reactants?
