2
Chemical Compounds and Formulas
"Compounds are two or more atoms bonded together"
Subscripts = how many atoms of the element there are
Changes in subscripts or element combinations = chemical reaction!
3
Chemical Reactions
"Any change that results in the breaking or formation of chemical bonds"
When compounds break down into pieces or pieces/atoms come together to form new compounds
4
The Law of Conservation of Mass
"Matter can be neither created nor destroyed"
Chemical reactions cannot result in a gain or loss of atoms
If an atom is on one side, it's got to be on the other side too
5
Multiple Choice
Which of the following compounds contain TWO hydrogen atoms?
2 He

Ca(S3O2)2
7
Multiple Choice
Which of the following is NOT a chemical reaction?
2 H2O2 => 2 H2O + O2
2 Mg + O2 => 2 MgO
H2O + CO2 + O2 => CO2 + H2O + O2
HCl + NaOH => H2O + NaCl

Multiple Choice
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass...
Matter is gained but not lost in a chemical reaction
Atoms are sometimes gained but never lost in a chemical reaction
Matter may be gained or lost in a chemical reaction
Atoms cannot be gained or lost in a chemical reaction
