Chapter 6 Vocabulary

Catalyst / a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed or changed significantly
Chemical Energy / the energy released when a chemical compound reacts to produce new compounds
Chemical Equation / a representation of a chemical reaction that uses symbols to show the relationship between the reactants and the products
Chemical Equilibrium / a state of balance in which the rate in forward reactions equals the rate of the reverse reactions and the concentrations of products and reactants remain unchanged
Combustion Reaction / the oxidation reaction of an organic compound in which heat is released
Decomposition Reaction / a reaction in which a single compound breaks down to form two or more simpler substances
Double Displacement Reaction / a reaction in which a gas, solid participate or a molecular forms from the apparent exchange of atoms ions between two compounds
Endothermic Reaction / a chemical reaction that requires heat
Exothermic Reaction / a chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surroundings
Enzyme / a type of protein that speeds up metabolic reaction in plants and animals without permanently being changed or destroyed
Reactant / a substance or molecule that participates in a chemical reaction
Oxidation Reduction Reaction / any chemical change in which one species is oxidized (loses electrons) and another species is reduced (gains electrons); also called redox reaction
Product / a substance that forms in a chemical reaction
Radical / an organic group that has one or more electrons available for bonding
Single Displacement Reaction / a reaction in which one element or radical takes the place of another element or radical in a compound
Synthesis Reaction / a reaction in which substances combine to form a new compound

Peer Tutoring Tracking Sheet

As you study, keep track of the words you are getting right and wrong so you will know which ones you will need to spend the most time studying. To do this, place a tally mark beside the words you incorrectly identify during peer tutoring time. The words with the most tallies are the words you will need to spend additional time studying at home.
