1

Chemical Reaction

A process where reactants transform into products through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

New cards
2

Evidence of a Chemical Reaction:

Bubbling or odor change or change in pH or changes in electrical conductivity

New cards
3

Precipitate

A solid formed from a solution.

New cards
4

Types of Energy Change

Exothermic (releases heat) or Endothermic (absorbs heat).

New cards
5

Photo Reaction

Energy release as light.

New cards
6

Combination/Synthesis Reaction

New cards
7

Decomopisiton reaction

A compound breaks down into simpler substances.

New cards
8

Displacement

One element replaces another in a compound.

New cards
9

Electrons
