What is a diatomic molecule?

Back

A diatomic molecule is a molecule composed of only two atoms, which can be of the same or different chemical elements.

Front

Which elements are diatomic in nature?

Back

The diatomic elements are Hydrogen (H2), Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2), Fluorine (F2), Neon (N2), Iodine (I2), Chlorine (Cl2), and Bromine (Br2).

Front

What is a chemical reaction?

Back

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

Front

What are reactants in a chemical reaction?

Back

Reactants are the starting materials in a chemical reaction that undergo change.

Front

What are products in a chemical reaction?

Back

Products are the substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction.

Front

What is a decomposition reaction?

Back

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one reactant breaks down into two or more products.

Front

What is the general form of a decomposition reaction?

Back

The general form is: AB → A + B, where AB is the reactant that decomposes.

Front

What is a synthesis reaction?

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product.

Front

What is the general form of a synthesis reaction?

Back

The general form is: A + B → AB, where A and B are reactants that combine.

Front

What is an example of a synthesis reaction?

Back

An example is: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, where hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water.
