Chemical Recations

2. replacement a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and the positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.
3. reaction, a chemical reaction where the reactants form products that, in turn, react together to give the reactants back.
6. ion an ion that exists in the same form on both the reactant and product sides of a chemical reaction.
7. solution any solution in which water (H2O) is the solvent.
9. when two or more substances, or reactants, combine with each other to form a new product.
10. a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, but is not consumed by the reaction
13. equation a chemical equation that does not indicate the relative amounts of the reactants and products
14. a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant yields two or more products.
15. equation a statement containing chemical symbols, used to show the changes that happen during a particular chemical reaction
16. the amount of product obtained in a chemical reaction.
17. replacement a type of chemical reaction where an element reacts with a compound and takes the place of another element in that compound.

1. when two or more substances, or reactants, combine with each other to form a new product.
4. substances initially present in a chemical reaction that are consumed during the reaction to make products.
5. equation an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products.
8. the numbers in front of the formulas.
11. a substance that is formed as the result of a chemical reaction.
12. ionic equation a chemical equation for a reaction that lists only those species participating in the reaction.
