Stoichiometric Coefficient |
The letters a, b, c, and d where A and B are reactants, and C and D are products. The stoichiometric coefficients indicate the relative amounts of reactants and products |
|
|
Balanced Chemical Equation |
An equation where the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side combination |
|
|
Combination Reaction |
A reaction where two or more chemical species combine to produce a single new compound |
|
|
Decomposition Reaction |
A reaction where a single chemical species breaks down to produce two or more new chemical species |
|
|
Single Replacement Reaction |
Occurs when one chemical species (often a single element) replaces a portion of another compound to produce two new products |
|
|
Double Displacement Reaction |
Occurs when the cations from the original two ionic compounds trade anions to make two New Ionic compounds |
|
|
Molecular Equation |
An equation that shows all ionic components as neutral compounds, but the ones that are dissolved in water are denoted with "(aq)" |
|
|
Ionic Equation |
A chemical equation in which the various equation components are represented as they actually exist in the reaction, for example, as individual ions |
|
|
Spectator Ion |
Ions that are present in solution but do not participate in the overall reaction |
|
|
Net Ionic Equation |
The simplified ionic equation in which all of the spectator ions are cancelled out |
|
|
Combustion |
Occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts in the presence of oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide |
