  2. 8. A reaction in which one substance is oxidized (loses electrons) and another is reduced (gains electrons).
  3. 9. Reactions in which a more reactive element takes the place of a less reactive element in a compound.
  4. 10. A chemical reaction in which a substance reacts quickly with oxygen and releases energy as heat and light.

  1. 1. Elements found in the center of the periodic table that can form ions with different charges and act as catalysts.
  2. 2. A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy, without being used up.
  3. 3. A number that shows how many electrons an atom has gained, lost, or shared in a chemical reaction.
  4. 4. A change in which a new substance is formed with different properties; also called a chemical reaction.
  5. 5. A theory that explains how chemical reactions happen when particles collide with enough energy.
  6. 7. The process by which atoms, ions, or molecules stick to a surface, often used to describe how catalysts work.
