|
CHEMICAL REACTION |
Any instance in which substances undergo chemical changes to form new substances (atoms are rearranged). |
|
|
REACTANT |
A substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction. |
|
|
PRODUCT |
A substance or molecule that forms in a chemical reaction. |
|
|
CHEMICAL ENERGY |
The energy released when a chemical compound reacts to produce new compounds. |
|
|
EXOTHERMIC REACTION |
A chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings. |
|
|
ENDOTHERMIC REACTION |
A chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings. |
|
|
SYNTHESIS REACTION |
A chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new compound (A +B ---> AB) |
|
|
DECOMPOSITION REACTION |
A chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances. (AB ---> A + B) |
|
|
ELECTROLYSIS |
The process in which an electric current is used to produce a chemical reaction. |
|
|
COMBUSTION REACTION |
The oxidation reaction of an organic compound, in which heat is released. |
|
|
RADICAL |
An organic group that has one or more electrons available for bonding. |
|
|
SINGLE-DISPLACEMENT REACTION |
A chemical reaction in which one element or radical takes the place of another element or radical in a compound (AX + B ---> BX + A). |
|
|
DOUBLE-DISPLACEMENT REACTION |
A chemical reaction in which a gas, a solid precipitate, or a molecular compound forms from the apparent exchange of atoms or ions between two compounds (AX + BY ---> AY + BX). |
|
|
OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION |
Any chemical change in which one species is oxidized (loses electrons) and another species is reduced (gains electrons). |
|
|
POLYMERIZATION REACTION |
Any chemical change in which monomers combine chemically to produce a polymer. |
