Compounds, Bonding & Reactions Study Guide ⚛️

📅 Handed Out: March 5-6
📅 Due: March 7 (After the Test)
📌 Students may use this study guide on the test!

This interactive study guide helps students review compounds, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions to prepare for the upcoming test. It includes definitions, practice problems, and real-world applications to reinforce key concepts.

📝 Topics Covered in the Study Guide:

1️⃣ Elements, Compounds & Mixtures

• Define elements, compounds, and mixtures and give examples.

• Explain how valence electrons determine bonding behavior.

• Practice drawing Lewis Dot Diagrams for different elements.

2️⃣ Chemical Reactions & The Law of Conservation of Mass

• Identify reactants and products in a chemical equation.

• True/False statements testing knowledge of chemical changes, energy transfer, and reaction types.

• Matching key reaction types like synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, and double replacement to their descriptions.

3️⃣ Balancing Chemical Equations & Identifying Reactions

• Practice balancing chemical equations step by step.

• Identify reaction types such as combustion, fission, and fusion.

• Determine whether reactions are endothermic (absorbing heat) or exothermic (releasing heat).

4️⃣ Real-Life Applications of Chemistry

• Explain how the Law of Conservation of Mass & Energy applies to real-world reactions.

• Identify common chemical bonding examples in everyday life (e.g., baking, rusting, cleaning agents).

• Describe observations in real-life exothermic and precipitation reactions.

5️⃣ Crossword Puzzle & Review Questions

• Reinforce vocabulary related to chemical bonding, reactions, and atomic structure through a crossword puzzle.

• Review key nuclear reactions like fusion and fission and how they differ.

📌 Why This Matters:

This study guide is an essential tool for mastering chemical bonding and reactions, helping students apply concepts to real-world chemistry.

✅ Reminder: The study guide is due after the test on March 7, and students are allowed to use it during the test—so make sure it is complete! 🧪📖
