Reaction where one atom/ion replaces another atom/ion in a compound.
Single-Displacement
The direction a reaction goes.
Favored
A reaction which releases more energy than it absorbs.
Exothermic
A reaction which forms new substances.
Chemical reaction
A substance that speeds up or slows down a reaction but is not changed.
Catalyst
Reaction where two atoms/ions appear to replace one another in compounds.
Double-Displacement
A reaction that proceeds equally in both directions.
Equilibrium
A reaction which absorbs more energy than it releases.
Endothermic
A substance that forms during a chemical reaction.
Product
A catalyst produced by living things.
Enzyme
Reaction where organic compounds react with oxygen.
Combustion
The proportion of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Mole ratio
Reaction where one substance loses electrons while another substance gains electrons.
Oxidation-reduction
A substance that participates in a chemical reaction.
Reactant
A catalyst which slows down a reaction.
Inhibitor
Reaction where substances break apart.
Decomposition
A number that shows the relative amount of a substance in a reaction.
Coefficient
When something gains an electron.
Reduced
Using symbols to show the relationship between the reactants and products of a reaction.
Chemical equation
Energy which is stormed in the form of chemical bonds.
Chemical energy
Reaction where two or more substances join to form a new compound.
Synthesis
The principle which states that if a change is made to a system at chemical equilibrium, the equilibrium shifts until the system reaches a new equilibrium.
Le Chatelier's
When something loses an electron.
Oxidized
An atom or group of atoms that has one unpaired electron.
Free radical
A reactant that is acted upon by a catalyst.
