1. Chemical Reactions and Classification

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Chemical reaction : a process in which bonds are broken in reactant molecules and new bonds are formed in product molecules, producing new substances with properties different from those of the reactants.

★ Must-know

  • A chemical reaction may be indicated by:
    • gas evolution
    • a colour change
    • a temperature change
    • emission of light
    • formation of a precipitate

Further detail

  • Chemical reactions are classified according to how atoms or ions rearrange and bind together, which helps explain how reactions occur and predict products.

What is a chemical reaction?

A process breaking and forming bonds to produce new substances.

What indicates a chemical reaction may have occurred?

Gas evolution, colour change, temperature change, light emission, or precipitate formation.

How are chemical reactions classified?

By how atoms or ions rearrange and bind together.

What are direct combination reactions?

Reactions where two or more substances combine to form a new compound.

How does magnesium react when heated in oxygen?

It burns with a bright white flame forming white magnesium oxide.

Why is 2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)2\mathrm{NO}_{(g)}+\mathrm{O}_{2(g)}\longrightarrow2\mathrm{NO}_{2(g)} a direct combination reaction?

Because two substances combine to form a new compound.
