Term | Definition |
---|---|
Exothermic Reaction | When more energy is being released |
Product | an ending substance that is made during a chemical reaction |
Reactant | a starting substance that is part of a chemical reaction |
Endothermic Reaction | When more energy is absorbed |
The number of Hydrogen atoms in H2O | 2 |

Physical Change | Often a phase change |
Chemical Change | One chemical substance is transformed into one or more different substances. |
Chemical and Physical Change | There can be a color change. |
Chemical Change | Hard to reverse |
Chemical Change | light, heat sound, bubbles or a precipitate can be formed |
Physical Change | Can be easily reversed (usually) |
Physical Change | No new products are formed |
Physical Change | texture, shape, temperature, and a change in the state of matter |
State of Matter | If a substance is a solid, liquid, or a gas. |
Precipitate | The production of a solid when two liquids are mixed together. |
Chemical Equation | A symbolic representation of the reactants and products in a chemical reaction. |
Reactants | The starting substances in a chemical reaction. |
Products | The final substances in a chemical reaction. |
