What does EXOTHERMIC reactions mean
Temperature increase
What does endothermic reactions mean
Temperature decrease
What’s neutralisation include
Formation of a salt
What does effervescence reactions include
Gas been given off
Can a physical change and a chemical change be reversed
A physical change can be reversed but a chemical change can not be reversed
What are examples of a physical change
Boiling water Melting ice Diluting juice with water Breaking glass Filtering sand from water Separating alcohol from water by distilling
What are the signs of a chemical reaction
Colour change
Change in energy
What are the examples of a chemical reaction
Frying an egg
Toasting bread
Rust on a car
Adding sodium to water
What is a mixture
A mixture is when two or more substances are mixed together but have not actually joined together and reacted mixtures can usually be separated easily
How do compounds form
Compounds are formed when elements react together. Compounds can have different properties to the elements that make them up
Are compounds easy or hard to separate
Compounds are hard to separate into their elements
What does ‘ide’ mean in elements
If a compound has ide, it contains two types of elements
E.g. Sodium chloride - NaCl
Iron oxide - FeO
What does ‘ite’ and ‘ate’ mean in elements
If a compound ends in ‘ite’ and ‘ate’, it contains two types of element plus it also contains oxygen
E.g. Sodium chlorate - Sodium chlorine oxygen
Iron sulphate - iron sulphur oxygen
What’s a physical change
Substances may seem different, but the way the atoms link up is the same. It changes shape or size. It dissolves. It changes phase (freezes,boils,evaporation,condenses)
What is a chemical change
Changes the way the atoms link up. Makes new substances. Change in colour. Temperature change (increases or decrease). Gas given off (effervent). Formation of a solid
What are compounds
Compounds are formed when two or more elements chemically join together (bonded). The different types of atoms becomes together.
What is a mixture
Mixtures are formed when two or more different substances come together but without chemically joining. These different substances may be elements or compounds
What does exothermic mean
Heat energy given out (exit) to its surrounding (temperature increase)
What does endothermic mean
Heat energy taken it (enter) the reaction from the surroundings (temperature decrease)
What does diatomic mean
Only contains 2 atoms
What does solute mean
Solid part if the solution
What does solution mean
The combined solvent and solute
What does solvent mean
Liquid part of the solution e.g. Water
What does Saturated soluction mean
A solution where no more solute can dissolve
