What to Focus On

  • Chemical reaction means new substances are formed.
  • Chemical bonds break and new bonds form during a reaction.
  • Collisions between reactant particles are needed for a reaction.

  • Close contact can start some reactions.
  • Solution state is required for many reactions.
  • Heat can cause decomposition.

  • Gas evolution is a common sign of reaction.
  • Effervescence means gas bubbles form in a liquid.
  • Colour change may show a reaction.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any change in colour means a chemical reaction has happened.

A catalyst takes part in the reaction and gets used up.

All catalysts speed up reactions, so any substance that slows a reaction is also a catalyst in the same sense.
