(9 cards)
Chemical Reaction
a process in which one or more substances is converted into a new substance with different chemical and physical properties
reactants
left side, entered in a reaction
Reactants—> _____
products. Right side, what is made
Aq
Aqueous (dissolved in water)
NR
no reaction has occupied
coefficients
numbers written in front of a chemical or element that helps in balancing and tell how many of each element are present in a reaction
Diatomic elements… 7 examples and hintclue
elements that will pair up if not bonded with anything else
ex: H2,O2,Br2,F2,I2,N2,Cl2
“HOBrFINCl”
5 signs of a chemical reaction
Odor, color change, precipitate, bubbles, temperature change
balancing chemical equations rule
in a chemical reaction the number of atoms must remain the same before and after. As they rearrange you must use coefficients to make each side balance
