Reactions in Chemistry

reaction in which two or more reactants combine to form products

equation that describes a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms of each element involved in the reaction and the total charge are balanced

representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols

process in which atoms from one or more substances rearrange, resulting in a different substance or substances

multiplier that can be placed in front of the chemical symbol of a substance in a chemical reaction

burning a substance, often called fuel, with an oxidizer, which is often oxygen

reaction in which a single compound breaks apart into two or more substances

type of reaction in which two reactants exchange atoms or groups

reaction in which energy is absorbed in the form of heat or light

reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat or light

incapable of being dissolved in another substance

equation in which an ionic compound is shown as ions

ionic equation without spectator ions

reaction that involves the removal of an electron from an atom

hypothetical charge assigned to an atom, ion, or polyatomic ion, indicating how many electrons have been lost (or gained)

type of reaction where the oxidation states of two or more atoms change

substance that causes oxidation of another substance

insoluble product that settles as a residue at the bottom of the reaction container

reaction that forms an insoluble salt, which forms as a solid in the reaction container

substance formed during a chemical reaction

substance that reacts in a chemical reaction

substance that causes reduction of another substance

reaction that involves the addition of an electron to an atom

type of reaction in which an atom or a group of atoms from a reactant is replaced with another atom or group of atoms in the products

maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in another substance at specific conditions

dissolved material in a solution

substance that dissolves a material to form a solution

ion that does not participate in a reaction and is present in both the reactant side and the product side

electron in the outermost shell of an atom
