The substances that are created as a result of a chemical reaction.
What are products?
A representation of a chemical reaction using symbols of the elements to indicate the quantities of each reactant and product.
What is a chemical equation?
The substances that are initially present in a chemical reaction.
What are reactants?
The numbers placed in front of a chemical symbol or formula that show how many atoms or molecules of the substance are involved in the reaction.
What are coefficients?
A chemical process in which two or more simple elements or compounds combine to form a more complex product.
What is a synthesis reaction?
A standard unit used for measuring large quantities of very small entities such as atoms and molecules.
What is a mole?
A chemical reaction in which one substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
What is a decomposition reaction?
The mass of a chemical compound divided by its amount-of-substance measured in moles.
What is molar mass?
A reaction in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of light and heat.
What is a combustion reaction?
A reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound.
What is a single-replacement reaction?
A type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two chemical species.
What is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
A reaction where parts of two ionic compounds are exchanged, making two new compounds.
What is a double-replacement reaction?
The energy which is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
What is chemical energy?
A chemical reaction in which the reactants absorb heat energy from the surroundings to form products.
What is an endothermic reaction?
A chemical reaction that involves the release of energy in the form of heat or light.
What is an exothermic reaction?
