Mendeleev - 10

what is a reactant

a starting substance that undergoes a chemical change during a chemical reaction

what is a product

a substance formed as a result of a chemical reaction

what is a metal

elements on the left-hand side of the periodic table, they are malleable, lustrous and conductive. they also are cations

what is a non-metal

elements on the right side of the periodic table

what is a ion

an atom that is charged because it has an unequal amount of electrons and protons

what is a cation

a positively charged ion that results from an atom loosing electrons.

what is a anion

a negatively charged ion formed when an gains electrons

what is a soluble solution

a mixture where a substance (the solute) completely dissolves into a fluid (the solvent) to create clear mixture with no precipitate

what is a insoluble solution

a substance (solid) that will not dissolve into a solvent and instead becomes a sediment

what is precipitate

a solid, insoluble compound formed in a precipitation reaction

what is a aqueous solution

a mixture where a substance (the solute) is dissolved in the solvent (usually water)

what is noble gases

the stable gaseous elements in group 18 of the periodic table

what is an ionic bond

a bond between a negativly charged anion and a positively charged cation

what is a ionic compound

a substance made up of negatively charged anion and positively charged cation.

what is a precipitation reaction

a reaction used to produce solid products from solutions of ionic substances

what is a double displacement reaction

when two reactants exchange ions to perform new products during a chemical reaction

what is a solution

a mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent
