Definition
By combining them which forms a chemical reaction.
Term
What is a substance?
Definition
A substance is made up of one type of molecule throughout the substance.
Term
What is a property?
Definition
properties are characteristics of substances that don't change in the same environmental conditions
Term
What is a chemical reaction?
Definition
When chemicals react to make a new product and those are the reactants reacting.
Term
What are the signs of a chemical reaction?
Definition
The signs of a chemical reaction are: change in color, gas, precipitate, change in properties, or temperature change
Term
What is a phase change?
Definition
The state of matter changes to either a liquid, solid, or gas.
Term
What is an open system?
Definition
An open system is when molecules can leave and enter an experiment.
Term
What is a closed system?
Definition
A closed system is when no molecules can leave or enter. The mass in a closed system does not change.
Term
How do you figure out protons, neutrons, and electrons?
Definition
you use the mass number for the neutrons. you take away the atomic nomber from the mass number and the answer is the number of neutrons. for the electrons and the protons you just write the atomic number
Term
Scientifis principle #1

Term
Scientifis principle 5
Definition
a chemical reaction is a process in which substancees interact to form a new substance with properties different from the old properties. substances before and after chemical reactions are different
Term
Scientifis principle 6
Definition
in a chemical reaction the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products are the same because the atoms rearrange and form different molecueles but are not gained or lost
Term
Scientifis prnciple 7
Definition
in an open system when a gas is produced in a chemical reaction or phase change there will be loss of mass
Term
Scientifis principle 8
Definition
no matter how substances interact with each other the total mass will stay the same
