Name That Chemical
True or False: The chemical name for H2O is Dihydrogen Monoxide
False
The chemical formula for Water
H2O
The reaction type where two simple substances combine to form one complex compound (A + B → AB)
Synthesis/Combination
Predict the product: CH4 + O2 →
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) + H2O (Water)
Balance: __H2 + __Cl2 → __HCl
1, 1, 2
This common compound is known as "salt"
Sodium Chloride
The formula for a molecule containing one Carbon and one Oxygen.
CO
The reaction type where one substance breaks down into two or more simpler ones (AB → A + B)
Decomposition
Predict the product: Na + Cl2 →
NaCl
To balance the equation: __Na + __F2 → __NaF, you must place this coefficient in front of both Na and NaF
