Mixture Types
Homogeneous heterogeneous
Homogeneous
Mixtures of uniform density trhoughout and not distinguishable components.
Heterogeneous
Mixtures where you can readily distinguish components and not uniform in density.
Physical Change
No change has been made to the chemical composition of the substance - cutting a cake
Chemical Change
Change that has created physical change of the chemical composition of the substance - spoiling an egg
Element
The simplest of substances and is represented by a specific letter or combination of letters
Compounds
Combinations of elements in whole number ratios
Reactants
Ingredients that react to produce a result called a product. REACTANTS----------> PRODUCTS
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction. Equations must therefore be balanced.
Chemical Reaction
Breaking of bonds and reforming of new bonds to create new chemical compounds with different chemical formulas and different formula properties.
Types of Chemical Reactions
Synthesis Decomposition Combustion Single Replacement Double Replacement
Synthesis Reaction
2 elements combine to form a product
Decomposition Reaction
The breaking of a compound into component parts
Combustion Reaction
The reaction of a compound or element with oxygen.
