Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Matter?

Back

Matter is neither created nor destroyed in any process.

Front

Why do two metals not combine in double replacement reactions?

Back

Metals form positive ions and like charges do not attract.

Front

Back

Fluorine because it has a higher electronegativity than oxygen and an oxidation number of -1.

Front

Back

Single replacement.

Front

Define a synthesis reaction.

Back

A synthesis reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more reactants combine to form a single product.

Front

Front

Explain a single replacement reaction.

Back

In a single replacement reaction, one element replaces another element in a compound.

Front

What is a double replacement reaction?

Back

A double replacement reaction involves the exchange of ions between two compounds to form two new compounds.

Front

What is electronegativity?

Back

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.
