Chemical Reations Nick Scott

A product is a substance that forms in a chemical reaction.

A reactant is a substance that participates in a chemical reaction.

Chemical energy is the energy released when a chemical compound reacts to produce new compounds.

Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings. An example is fire.

Endothermic reaction is when a chemical reaction requires heat. An example is an ice use melting.

Synthesis reaction is a reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound.

Decomposition reaction is when a reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances.

Electrolysis is the process in which an electric current is used to produce a chemical reaction, such as the decomposition of water.

Combustion reaction is the oxidation reaction if an organic compound, in which heat is released.

Single-displacement reaction is a reaction in which one element or radical takes the place of another element or radical in a compound.

A double-displacement reaction is a reaction in which a gas, a solid precipitate, or a molecular compound forms from the apparent exchange of atoms or ions between two compounds.

Oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical change in which one species is oxidized (loses electrons) and another species is reduced (gains electrons); also called redox reaction.

Radicals are an organic group that has one or more electrons available for bonding.

A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction that uses symbols to show you h relationship between the reactants and the products.

A mole ratio is the relative number of moles of the substance required to produce a given amount of product in a chemical reaction.

A catalyst is a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed or changed significantly.

Enzyme is a tho of protein that speeds up metabolic reactions in plants and animals without being permanently changed or destroyed.

Reduced is the substance that except electrons.

Oxidized is when substances give up electrons.

A coefficient is a number in front of a chemical formula.

The law of conservation of mass is the of when mass is never created or destroyed.

The law of definite proportions is the proportions of each element has to be the same.

Substrate is a part or element that lies beneath and ispports another part or element.

A chemical equilibrium is when a chemical formula is balanced on both sides.
