Definition

Covalent

 

Fairly equal sharing of e-

 

Difference is ≤ 0.4

Term

Term
Signs of a Reaction
Definition

1. Change of state (production of a gas or solid)

2. Color Change

3. Temperature (E) change

*Light may be produced, but it isn't common. 

Term
Exothermic Reaction
Definition

Energy leaves the system

 

reactants --> products + E(heat) 

Term
Endothermic
Definition

Energy enters the system

 

E(heat) + reactants --> products

Term
Law of Conservation of Mass
Definition

In a chemical reaction, mass is neither created nor destroyed.

 

Mass of Reactant = Mass of Product

Term
Synthesis (direct combination) Reaction
Definition
Two or more elements or simple compounds combine to form a single, more complex compound.
Term
Decomposistion Reactions
Definition

A single compound breaks down into elements or simpler compounds

 

Heat or some form of energy is often needed to make these happen 

Term
Combustion Reaction
Definition
When a substance reacts with O2
Term
Dissociation Reactions
Definition

Breaking up pf a soluable ionic compound in water into its ionic parts

 

Ionic parts always exist in "aqueous" phase

Term
Single Replacement Reactions
Definition
A more active metal replaces a less active metal in a compound, or a more active halogen replaces a less active halogen
Term
Double Replacement Reaction
Definition

Two ionic compounds exchange ions.

 

Both must be soluble originally and at least one new compound form/precipitate

Term
Soluable
Definition
Dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution
Term
Insoluable
Definition
Doesn;t dissolve in water, stays together as a compound
Term
Mole
Definition

Chemist's count

 

Used when referring to objects, like atoms, molecules, and formula units

 

6.02 • 1023

Term

Term
Energy
Definition

"ability to do work"

 

Main types are kenetic energy (KE - energy of motion) and potential energy (PE - stored energy in bonds and in the structure itself)

Term
