What does it mean for a chemical equation to be balanced?

Back

A balanced chemical equation has the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

Front

What type of compound is formed when calcium and fluorine react?

Back

Calcium fluoride (CaF2) is an ionic compound.

Front

What are products in a chemical reaction?

Back

Products are the substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction, found on the right side of the equation.

Front

What is an ionic bond?

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is the significance of valence electrons in bonding?

Back

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons of an atom and are involved in forming chemical bonds.

Front

What is a chemical equation?

Back

A chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction, showing the reactants and products.

Front

What does the arrow in a chemical equation represent?

Back

The arrow in a chemical equation represents the direction of the reaction, indicating that reactants are transformed into products.

Front

What is the difference between reactants and products?

Back

Reactants are the starting substances in a chemical reaction, while products are the substances formed as a result of the reaction.
