|
|
Chemical Equation |
Uses chemical formulas or symbols to represent a chemical equation and follows Law of Conservation of Mass (balanced). |
|
|
Skeletal Equation |
A chemical equation that is not balanced. |
|
|
Catalyst |
A substance that is used to speed up a reaction but is not part of the reactant or product side of equation (placed above arrow). |
|
|
The Law of Conservation of Mass |
In a chemical equation, the total mass of the products is always equal to the total mass of the reactants. |
|
|
Combustion |
A rapid reaction with oxygen gas to produce a solid or gas. |
|
|
Corrosion |
A slow reaction with oxygen gas to produce a solid metal oxide. |
|
|
Synthesis |
A+B = AB A and B can be two elements or two compounds. A product is produced. |
|
|
Decomposition |
AB = A+B The reverse of synthesis, the reactant is broken down. |
|
|
Single Displacement |
A metal or non-metal to displace a metal or non-metal of a compound respectively. |
|
|
Double Displacement |

|
|
Neutralization |
Acid + Base = Ionic compound + Water |
|
|

Any precipitation (ex. Rain, dew, hail) with a pH of less than normal in rain (approx. 5.6). |
|
|
Isoelectronic |
The atom has the same amount of electrons as it nearest noble gas. |
|
|
Cation |
Positively charged ion ( lost electrons). |
|
|
Anion |
