Chemical Reaction
chemicals interact to form new chemicals with different properties
Reactant
starting material before chemical reaction
Product
Product of chemical reaction
Solubility
ability to be dissolved
Insoluble
incapable of being dissolved in a liquid
Aqueous
is a mixture where a substance is dissolved in water
Metal
generally shines solids and good conductors o heat and electricity
Non-Metal
exist in all three states of matter and are all, mostly insulators
Metaloid
have properties of both metals and non-metals
Diatomic elements
Hydrogen (H₂)
Nitrogen (N₂)
Oxygen (O₂)
Fluorine (F₂)
Chlorine (Cl₂)

Element
a pure substance
Atomic number
Indicates the number of protons in the nucleus
Atomic mass
Is the sum of the protons plus the number of neutrons in the nucleus
Nucleus
centre of the atom, made up of protons and neutrons
Proton
positive charge and the number of protons in an atom determines what element it is
Neutron
neutral particle found in the nucleus of the atom
Electron
a negatively charged particle that moves around the nucleus of an atom at different energy levels or orbits.
Ion
an atom or molecule that has a charge
Cation
positively charged
Anion
negatively charged
Polyatomic ion
2 or more atoms that together have a charge
Valence electron
represent the number of electrons that will be shared, transferred, or accepted between elements to form a stable compound
