States of Matter | Chemical Reactions | Miscellaneous | Compounds and Changes |
---|---|---|---|
What is liquid
The particles of the substance have a definite volume but no definite shape
|
What is Analysis
A reaction in which a compound is decomposed or broken down
|
What is by atomic number
The elements in the Periodic Table are arranged in this order.
|
What is a chemical compound
Water, salt, and sugar are all common examples of this
|
What is solid
The particles of the substance have a definite shape and volume
|
What is Metathesis
A double-displacement reaction in which the substances in a compound trade parts
|
What is that 20 elements have been made by scientists in a laboratory
Scientists recognize 118 elements, while only 98 are found in nature, for this reason.
|
What is chemical change
Burning coal would be an example of this kind of change
|
What is plasma
The particles of the substance consist of ions and free-roaming electrons
|
What is Substitution
A reaction in which one part of a compound breaks away to bond with another substance
|
What is radioactive decay
The three ways that THIS occurs are: an element loses two neutrons and two protons to form an alpha particle, A neutron changes into a proton to make a beta particle, a proton changes into a neutron and releases gamma rays.
|
What is physical change
Freezing water would be an example of this kind of change
|
What is gas
The particles of the substance have neither a definite volume nor definite shape.
|
What is Synthesis
A reaction in which a complex substance is made from two or more simple substances
|
What is releases energy, gains stability, and loses weight
These three things happen to a radioactive isotope as it decays
|
What is a chemical bond
When two or more atoms come together and share their electrons, this is the result
