States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
Balanced Equation: 2Al + 3CuCl2 * 2H2O -> 3Cu + 2AlCl3 + 6H2O
1. Reproduce the following table in your document. Write the
(see table)
2. From the reactants, identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent and input this into the table above. Explain, in a few sentences, how you determined the difference between the two.
3. Type out the complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation for the reaction. Explain how you arrived at your answer in a narrative (3-5 sentences), including why you canceled any ions as spectators.
