What is chemical reaction on a small scale?
when chemical bonds break or when new bonds are formed
Chemical bonds are the ____ that holds atoms together in molecules
force
The types of ____ that are present and the type of ____ _____ they form determine the properties of the substance.
atoms
chemical bonds
What is a shorter easier way to show chemcical reactions, using symbols instead of words?
Chemical equation
How do you write a chemical equation
identify the elemets in a compound as well as the ratio of these
The number of atoms of an element in a molecule or the ratio of elements in a compound!
SUBSCRIPTS
WHAT DOES A CHEMICAL EQUATION TELL U?
It tells you the substances you start with and the substances you end with.
What do you call the materials that you have at the beginning of the reaction?
REACTANTS
What do you call the materials you have at the end of the reaction?
PRODUCTS
The theory that says "no matter how many reactants and products are involved, all the atoms present at the start of a reaction are present at the end" is called what?
CONSERVATION OF MASS
The amount of ____ in a chemical reaction does not change
MASS
During a reaction, matter is not _____ or _____.
created or destroyed
When you balance a chemical equation what must happen?
the equation must show the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.
What do you call a number placed in front of a chemical formula in an equations?
Coefficient
A coefficient tells what?
the number of molecules it preceds. Ex: 2CO2 means 2 - CO2 molecules
OR the number of atoms of each substance: Ex: 2Na means 2 -Na atoms

SYNTHESIS
What breaks down compounds into simpler products?
DECOMPOSTION
What is replacement?
When one element REPLACES another in a compound OR when two elements in different compounds TRADE PLACES
How do reactions get started?
they need a certain amount of energy
The minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction is called ?
ACTIVATION ENERGY
Which needs additonal energy to continue the reaction, EXOTHERMIC OR ENDOTHERMIC
ENDOTHERMIC SO IT ABSORBS HEAT
_____ does not need additional energy to continue so they give OFF HEAT.
exothermic
How do chemists control the rate of reactions?
By changing factors such as concentration, temperature, and surface areas
The amount of one material in a given amount of another material is called what?
CONCENTRATION
When you heat a substance, its PARTICLES MOVE FASTER and increase the reaction, which is called what?
TEMPERATURE
When you increase the surface area you increase the ____ of the solid that can contact with the other reactant
amount
What is a CATALYSTS?
A material that increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy
What is a biological catalyst that is contained in the cells of living things?
Enzymes
An INHIBITOR _____ the rate of a reaction?
decreases
