Types of Chemical Reactions

Chemical Reactions:

Exploring the Transformations of Atoms

Chemical Reactions

Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to create new compounds. The driving forces behind a chemical reaction include the formation of a pure substance and the formation of a weak electrolyte. By combining elements and/or compounds and making detailed observations, we can identify common indications that a chemical reaction has occurred.

An electrolyte is a medium containing ions that is electrically conducting through the movement of those ions, but not conducting electrons.

​Electrolyte

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

Definitions

​Chemical Reaction

A c hemical compound comprises many identical molecules (or molecular entities) containing atoms from more than one chemical element held together by chemical bonds.

​Chemical Compound

A chemical substance is a matter with constant chemical composition and characteristic properties.

Definitions

​Chemical Substance

An intermolecular force (IMF) (or secondary force) is the force that mediates interaction between molecules, including the electromagnetic forces of attraction or repulsion which act between atoms and other types of neighbouring particles

​Intermolecular Force

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as / chemical bonds

​Chemical Molecule
