| Question | Answer |
| strong electrolyte | each unit of which dissolves in water to produce separated ions |
| molecular equation | shows the complete formulas of all reactants and products |
| complete ionic equation | the molecular equation in that it shows the complete formulas of all reactants and products, with the exception of strong electrolytes, which are represented as ions |
| net ionic equation | includes only those components that are directly involved in the reaction, not including spectator ions or bystanders |
| acid | a substance that produces H+ ions (protons) when dissolved in water |
| strong acids | strong electrolytes that produce H+ ions when dissolved in water |
| base | a substance that produces hydroxide ions when dissolves in water |
| strong bases | strong electrolytes that produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water |
| salt | any chemical compound formed from an acid-base reaction |
| oxidation-reduction reaction | involves a transfer of electrons, typically between a metal and a nonmetal or two nonmetals |
| combustion reaction | a chemical reaction that involves oxygen, produces energy (heat) so rapidly that a flame results |
| synthesis (combination) reaction | a given compound formed from simpler materials, opposite of decomposition reaction, reactants are elements |
| decomposition reaction | a compound broken down into simpler compounds or all the way down to the component elements, opposite of synthesis reaction, products are elements |
| precipitation reaction | forms a solid |
