Reactions
The substances that are on the left side of a chemical equation
What are Reactants?
The temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid or liquid to a solid.
What is a melting point or freezing point?
The total number of neutrons and protons in an element
What is atomic mass of an element?
Compounds that are made of carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds
What are hydrocarbons? What are Alkanes?
Elements that have a full outer shell of electrons
What are noble gases? What are the elements in the last Group (row) of the Periodic Table?
Type of reactions that takes in energy from the environment
What is endothermic?
Energy stored in the bonds between atoms in a molecule
What is Chemical (or potential) energy?
Where electrons are found in atoms
What is an electron shell (orbital)?
A mixture of hydrocarbons that was formed from decaying organic material buried underground for millions of years
What is petroleum?
Elements that tend to form +1 ions
What are Alkali metals? What are the elements in the first group (row) of the Periodic Table?
Substances that are shown on the right side of a chemical equation
What are Products?
The temperature at which molecules of a liquid move fast enough to overcome intermolecular forces of attraction
What is a boiling point?
The unit of measurement for the number of atoms in 12 grams of Carbon 12.
What is a mole?
A process that is used to separate hydrocarbons with different boiling points by heating them
What is fractional distillation?
Elements that tend to form -1 ions
What are Halogens? What are the elements in the next to last group (row) in the periodic table?
Type of reaction that gives off energy
What is Exothermic?
Energy that results in movement of a car.
What is rotational (kinetic) energy?
Elements that have same number of protons but different number of neutrons
What are isotopes?
The type of forces that explain the increase in Boiling Points as the length of carbon chain increases in a series of alkanes
What are intermolecular forces? What are Van der Waals forces?
The type of bonds that are formed when atoms share valence electrons
What is a covalent bond?
The number that is written in front of a molecule's formula in a chemical equation
What is the number of moles (or molecules) of that substance in the equation?
When one gets a large amount of useful energy from a given amount of stored chemical energy
What is high energy efficiency?
6.023*1023
What is Avogadro's Number?
What is the number of atoms in a mole?
The products of a chemical reaction between Propane and Oxygen?
What are Carbon Dioxide, Water and energy?
The type of bond that is formed when an electron is completely transferred or jumps from its atom to another atom and forms electrically charged atoms.
What is an ionic bond?
