?
Balanced Equation
An equation in which the symbols and formulae of the reactants and products are used to model a reaction. Also called a symbol equation, balanced symbol equation or chemical equation.
1 of 12
Base
A substance that reacts with an acid to neutralise it and produce a salt.
2 of 12
Bond
The chemical link that holds molecules together.
3 of 12
Catalyst
A catalyst changes the rate of a chemical reaction without being changed by the reaction itself.
4 of 12
Endothermic
Reaction in which energy is taken in from the surroundings. The surroundings then have less energy than they started with, so the temperature falls.
5 of 12
Exothermic
Reaction in which energy is given out to the surroundings.
6 of 12
Fuel
Material that is used to produce heat, like coal, oil or gas.
7 of 12
Limewater
Calcium hydroxide solution. It turns milky in the presence of carbon dioxide.
8 of 12
Neutralise
To be made neutral by removing any acidic or alkaline nature.
9 of 12
Product
A substance formed in a chemical reaction.
10 of 12
Reactants
Substances present at the start of a chemical reaction.
