Types of Reaction
Across
- 6. The process of adding water molecules to a substance or compound, often resulting in a hydrated form of the compound or a change in its physical properties
- 9. Any chemical reaction in which the oxidation state of atoms changes, involving the transfer of electrons between reactants
- 11. The opposite of synthesis, where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances
- 12. When two soluble substances in a solution combine to form an insoluble product, which then settles out of the solution
- 13. When an acid reacts with a base to produce water and a salt
- 14. The process of combining two or more substances to form a more complex compound or product, often accompanied by the release of energy
- 15. When two or more substances combine to form a single product
Down
- 1. A rapid chemical reaction between oxygen and a fuel, often producing heat and light
- 2. Chemical reaction in which a compound is broken down by reacting with water, often resulting in the cleavage of bonds within the compound and the formation of two or more new compounds
- 3. The chemical reaction involving the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state, often resulting in the addition of oxygen or the removal of hydrogen
- 4. The opposite of oxidation, involving the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state
- 5. The development of unpleasant odors and flavors in fats and oils due to the breakdown of their chemical structure, often caused by exposure to oxygen, light, or heat
- 7. The process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst, which remains unchanged at the end of the reaction and often lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
- 8. Process used to produce alcoholic beverages like wine and beer, as well as certain food products like yogurt and sauerkraut, typically involving the breakdown of sugars by microorganisms such as yeast or bacteria
- 10. When one element replaces another element in a compound, often in the form of an element reacting with a compound
