processes that happen when different chemicals come in contact with each other to create new substances
a change in which the substance's physical properties, such as shape, size, or state of matter, are altered, but its chemical composition remains the same.
a change in which one or more new substances with different properties are formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
the chemicals that undergo a change in a chemical reaction- found on the left side of the equation
the new substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction- found on the right side of a chemical equation
a representation of a chemical reaction using symbols and formulas to show the reactants and products involved.
substances that speed up chemical reactions without being used up in the process
a scientific principle that states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products.
a chemical reaction in which a fuel combines with oxygen to produce heat and light
a chemical reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a new substance
a chemical reaction in which a compound breaks down into simpler substances
a chemical reaction in which one element replaces another element in a compound
a chemical reaction in which two compounds exchange positive ions to form two new compounds
a chemical reaction between an acid and a base, resulting in the formation of water and a salt
a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen
describing a chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy
describing a chemical reaction that releases heat or light energy
a process in which two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy.
a process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy.
