What are chemical reactions?

Back

Chemical reactions are processes where substances (reactants) transform into different substances (products) through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.

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 are reactants in a chemical reaction?

Back

Reactants are the starting substances that undergo a chemical change during a reaction.

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 chemical equation?

Back

A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, showing the reactants and products along with their quantities.

Front

What does it mean for substances to have different properties?

Back

Different properties mean that substances have distinct characteristics, such as color, density, melting point, and reactivity, due to their unique atomic or molecular structures.

Front

What is a mixture?

Back

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances where each retains its own properties and can be separated by physical means.

Front

What is a compound?

Back

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements chemically bond together in fixed proportions.

Front

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change?

Back

A physical change alters the form or appearance of a substance without changing its chemical composition, while a chemical change results in the formation of new substances.

Front

What is a catalyst?

Back

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
