1. Chemical Reactions and Their Evidence

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Chemical Reaction : Breaks bonds between reactant molecules and forms new bonds between product molecules, producing substances with different properties.

★ Must-know

  • A chemical reaction can be recognized by:
    • color change
    • gas evolution
    • precipitate formation
    • temperature change
    • emission of heat and light
    • odor change

Further detail

  • Burning magnesium in air is an example of a chemical reaction because magnesium forms magnesium oxide with different properties.

Memory Hook

CGPTHO: Color, Gas, Precipitate, Temperature, Heat/light, Odor

2. Direct Combination Reactions

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Synthesis Reaction : Occurs when two or more substances combine to form one new compound.

★ Must-know

📌 The reactivity of the metals in the oxygen examples decreases in the order magnesium > iron > copper.

What happens to bonds during a chemical reaction?

Bonds between reactant molecules break and new bonds form between product molecules.

What is produced by a chemical reaction?

Substances with different properties from the reactants.

Which six signs can indicate a chemical reaction?

Color change, gas evolution, precipitate formation, temperature change, heat and light emission, or odor change.

Why is burning magnesium in air a chemical reaction?

Because magnesium forms magnesium oxide with different properties.

What is a synthesis reaction?

Two or more substances combine to form one new compound.

What is the chemical equation for copper reacting with oxygen when heated?

2Cu+O2Δ2CuO2\text{Cu} + \text{O}_2 \xrightarrow{\Delta} 2\text{CuO}
