Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- A chemical reaction is a process that transforms one set of chemical substances into another.
- Chemical reactions involve the formation and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms, with no change to the nuclei (no change to the elements present).
- Chemical reactions can be described by a chemical equation.
Nuclear Chemistry
- Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that deals with the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements.
- In nuclear chemistry, both electronic and nuclear changes can occur.
Reactants and Products
- The substances involved in a chemical reaction are called reactants or reagents.
- Chemical reactions yield one or more products, which have properties different from the reactants.
Reaction Mechanisms
- Chemical reactions often consist of a sequence of individual sub-steps, known as elementary reactions.
- The information on the precise course of action is part of the reaction mechanism.
