Basics
Anything that has mass and volume.
What is matter?
When matter changes form but none of its chemical properties are changed.
When a solid turns into a liquid.
What is melting?
When two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
What is a Synthesis Reaction?
The smallest unit of matter.
What is an atom?
A property of mater that describes a substance's ability to participate in chemical reactions.
What is a chemical property?
When a liquid becomes a solid.
What is freezing?
What is a chemical reaction?
This does not have any charge.
What is a neutron?
When energy is released as the byproduct of a reaction.
What is an exothermic reaction?
When the particles of a solid speed up so rapidly that they pass straight from being a solid to becoming a gas.
What is sublimation?
When one element (a radical) takes the place of another element in a molecule.
What is a single-displacement reaction?
This has a negative charge.
What is an electron?
When energy is absorbed to begin the chemical reaction.
When a gas becomes a liquid.
What is condensation?
When two elements swap places with each other in a chemical reaction.
What is a double-displacement reaction?
This has a positive charge.
What is a proton?
When the particles of a gas slow down at such a rate that it passes straight from being a gas and turns into a solid.
What is deposition?
When a liquid becomes a gas.
What is evaporation?
When a single reactant breaks down into multiple products.
What is a decomposition reaction?
