  • The mass of a proton is 1 and it's charge is positive
  • The mass of a neutron 1 and it's charge is neutral
  • The mass of an electron is 1/2000 and it's charge is negetive
  • Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons
  • In an exothermic reaction, heat is given out
  • In an exothermic reaction, chemical energy is converted to heat energy
  • In an exothermic reaction, products are at a lower enthalpy then reactions
  • In an exothermic reaction, temperature of the surroundings increase 
  • In an endothermic, heat is taken in
  • In an endothermic reaction, products are higher enthalpy then reactants
  • Enthalpy means chemical energy
  • A catalyst is a substance which speeds up a reaction but which is unchanged at the end of the reaction
  • Catalysts provide and alternative pathway of lower activation energy
  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur
  • For a chemical reaction to happen, reacting particles must collide
