Atoms Rearrange

5. The two primary types of chemical bonding is ionic and covalent. Ionic bonding is when atoms give

An ionic bond is a bond that results from the attraction between oppositely charges ions; one atom "gives" another atom an electron. Combinations of metals and nonmetals typically form ionic bonds. A covalent bond is a bond that results from

A covalent bond is a bond that occurs when atoms in a molecule share a pair of electrons. For example, “the atoms in sugar do not form ions; instead, they are held together because of shared electrons.”

A chemical reaction is when substances (reactants) change into other substances (products). The five general types of chemical reactions are synthesis (also known as direct combination), decomposition, single replacement (also known as single displacement), double replacement (also known as double displacement), and combustion. In this lab, the five general types of chemical reactions were conducted and observations were taken before, during, and after the reaction. Then the reactants and observations were used to determine the products to form a balanced chemical equation. The purpose of this lab was to learn and answer the question: How can observations be used to determine the identity of substances produced in a chemical reaction?

One type of chemical reaction, called combustion, involves the burning of various compounds and elements. Some substances are more

For example, molecules with projecting Hydrogen atoms bond with molecules with projecting Hydroxyl groups (-OH), forming water. The water molecule then leaves the reactants, allowing them to bond to form a larger, more complex molecule.

The Ancient Greeks were the firsts to speculate on the composition of matter. They thought that it was possible that individual particles made up matter.

Reactants collide with each other so new bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make new products

Acids react with reactive metals in order to make a salt. Salts are a compound formed by the neutralisation of an acid by a base, for example metal oxide. This is a result of hydrogen atoms in an acid being replaced by positive ions.

Neither matter nor energy is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction only changed. This experiment is a decomposition reaction a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts. One reactant yields 2 or more products.

Each chemical compounds has a certain percentage of ionic character in its bonds and the remaining percentage as covalent bonds. The only compounds that are accepted as being 100 percent covalent are the chemical combinations that happen between two similar atoms.However if atoms are different in the compound it will present a certain percentage of ionicity in its

Ionic and Covalent Bonding Ionic and covalent bonding is involved when the atoms of an element chemically combine to make their outer shells full and to make the atoms stable. The first type of bonding you can get is ionic bonding. Electrons are transferred from one atom to another to try and create full outer shells, this gain and loss of electrons on the atoms results in positive and negative ions. In these compounds you get electrostatic force, this is the force/attraction that occurs between the positive and negative ions that hold the compound together.

Chemical reactions make new things by rearranging other things. In a chemical reaction, the main change that occurs relates to the way atoms are bonded to each other, in order to change those connections, bonds must be broken and new bonds be formed.

A chemical reaction is a process by which atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form a different substance. Six types of chemical reactions are Synthesis, Combustion, Decomposition, Single Replacement, Double Replacement, and Acid/Bases. Each of these does something different, some combine to make a new product and some break down to make new products. Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product. A description of Synthesis reaction would be taking a mystery element, called “A” and combining it with “B” and the new product would be what you get when you combine those two elements (AB). An experiment you can do to help with your understanding of Synthesis is making slime because you are using multiple reactants(glue, borax, and water) to create a single new product(slime). Two real life examples of Synthesis reaction is water and your lungs. The product of Carbon mixed with Oxygen is CO2, which is found in your lungs. Water is a synthesis reaction because it is a product of Hydrogen and Oxygen (Anne Helmenstine, Synthesis Reactions and Examples, 2017).

During the first week, I became acquitted with the JMABC policies and procedures as well as getting a rough idea of the collection as a whole. My first task was to help finish up the new subject thesaurus JMABC was developing for their AtoM website. This involved removing certain terms that were deemed irrelevant by the archivist and adding in terms specific to our collection, such as Jewish holidays and life events. I then inputted these terms into the AtoM website, which can be viewed here. Please note that the subject thesaurus is an on-going project and has been further developed by other archives assistants.
