CR - Chemical Reactions Module Overview

Chemical Reactions

In this module, you will learn about different types of reactions as well as how to write net ionic equations for specific types of reactions such as acid-base neutralizations, metathesis, and oxidation-reductions. Calculations associated with some reactions that take place in solution will also be addressed.

This unit explores chemical transformations of matter by building on the physical transformations studied in Module 3. Chemical changes involve the making and breaking of chemical bonds. Many properties of a chemical system can be understood using the concepts of varying strengths of chemical bonds and weaker intermolecular interactions. When chemical changes occur, the new substances formed have properties that are distinguishable from the initial substance or substances. Chemical reactions are the primary means by which transformations in matter occur. Chemical equations are a representation of the rearrangement of atoms that occur during a chemical reaction. In subsequent units, students will explore rates at which chemical changes occur.
