What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

Front

What is a Balanced Chemical Equation?

Back

A balanced chemical equation has equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation, ensuring mass is conserved.

Front

What is a Monomer?

Back

A monomer is a small molecule that can join together with other similar molecules to form a polymer.

Front

What is a Polymer?

Back

A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating structural units (monomers) connected by covalent bonds.

Front

What is an Exothermic Reaction?

Back

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy, usually in the form of heat.

Front

What is an Endothermic Reaction?

Back

An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs energy from its surroundings.
