Chemical Reactions definitions Flashcards

Connections between atoms that hold molecules together, crucial for chemical reactions.

Starting materials in a chemical reaction, analogous to ingredients in a recipe.

Substances formed as a result of a chemical reaction, found at the end of the reaction.

Reactions requiring energy input, resulting in higher-energy products from lower-energy reactants.

Reactions that release energy, breaking down complex reactants into simpler products.

Stored energy in a system, often visualized on a graph to show reaction progress.

Study of energy changes during chemical reactions, crucial for understanding reaction types.

Cellular activities involving chemical reactions, often utilizing energy from reactions.

Required energy for endergonic reactions to proceed, entering the reaction system.

Energy exiting the system in exergonic reactions, often into the environment.
