B.oxidation reduction(redox reaction) - transfer of electrons from one substance to another
-oxidation- loss of electrons; - reduction-gain of electrons
C.decomposition -chemical breakdown of a more complex substance into simpler forms
D.neutralization - special type of metathesis or double replacement reaction in which an acid and a baseare combined to form water,as a well as a salt by-product
E.photosynthesis - synthesis reaction in which carbon dioxide and water,using radiant energy, formsimple sugars, like glucose.Oxygen gas is released as a by-product.
F.digestion -breakdown of food substances into simpler form by chemical&mechanical means.
G.bacterial action -usually anaerob ic-breakdown o f organic matter
H.combustion - reaction of a substance with oxygen; highly exothermic in nature
I. respiration -appears to be the opposite process of photosynthesis in terms of the overal equation form

M.vulcanization-addition o f sulfur to natural rubber- strengthens the rubber&adds resilienceIII.Nucle ar C ha nge s:
A. fission- splitting of a target nuclide using a bombarding particle;usually produces two or more nearly-equal smaller nuclides as well as some radioactive subatomic particles (radiation).
B. fusion-jo ining o f two lighter nuclides to form a larger,heavier nuclide.
-common example:reactions of the stars,producing light and heat.
C.radioactive decay- spontaneous breakdown of an unstable nuclide;usually produces a nuclide ofs lightly smaller ato mic number(Z number).Radioactive p artic le s are also emitted.
D. transmutation-artific ially creating new nuc lides by bombarding one nuc lide with another nuc lide(usually a small nuclide with a very small Z#).
Groups(families)of the Periodic Table to know:
I-A Alkali metals (from Arab ic“arising from ash”)
II-A Alkaline earth metals
V-A “pnictides”-from the Greek word meaning choking suffocation
VI-A Chalcogens -“arising from ore”
VII-A Halogens -“salt-formers”
Group B metals - trans ition metalsgroup along the stairsteps -metallo ids or semimetals (does not include B or Al)VIII-B Iron family
IB -c o inage me talsbottom two rows of iron family-#44,45,46&76,77,78known as the noble metals,due to lack of reactivity
Group VIII noble gases or inert gasesbottom rows -called the“inner transition metals
#57-71 -also known as the lanthanides or“rare earths”
#89- 103-also known as the actinides
Elements past#92- transuranium elements
Elements past#83 -are all radioactive
Elements of note:
I.Elements o f the universe
Most abundant element–H
Second most abundant–He
These two elements comprise most of the mass of the universe because most of the universe’s mass isconcentrated in the stars. These stars are undergoing fusion reactions.
II.Elements of the earth’s biosphere(crust,oceans,and atmosphere)oxygen-49.5%s ilico n-25.7%a luminum@7.5%
#4–Fe@4.7%; #5–Ca@3.4%;#6–Na@2.6; #7–K@2.4%;
#8–Mg@1.9%; #9–H@0.87%; #10–Ti@0.58%
These 10 elements account for 99.2%of the biosphere(by mass).
If only the earth was considered, iron&nickel would have much higher percentages because we believethe core to be made mainly of these two metals.
Four elements actually have ferromagnetic properties.
Obviously, there’s Fe,but Co,Ni,and Gd are also magnetic.
Since 75%of the earth’s surface is covered in water–H2O–a large part of that is oxygen. In addition,2/3 ofthe dry surface is desert–sand or SiO2–thus the reasonthat oxygen is#1.
(The desert composition is the reason that silicon is#2.)
The most abundant of the metals is aluminum, since a large portion of the earth’s crust contains bauxite–the mineral form ofAl2O3.
III. Elements in living organisms
Carbon–key element for living organisms
Hydro gen,O xygen,N itro gen
C,H,&O are found in carbohydrates as well as lipids (fats&oils)
In addition to these three,N is a key component ofproteins
Sulfur–important in membrane s&bonding in skin,hair,etc.
Phosphorus–needed for bones as well as for nucleic acids
Calcium–needed for bones
Nucleic acids–DNA and RNA
DNA–5-carbon sugar(deoxyribo se),phosphate group s,and nitrogen containing bases
(adenine,guanine, thymine,and c ytos ine)
RNA–same as DNA except that it uses ribose,and uracil is substituted for thymine
Catenation–property exhibited by carbon–can form long chains of carbon atoms bondedto each other
IV. Most malleable metal is gold–can be pounded to 4 millionth of an inch thick.
V. Electrical conductivity–best–Ag;#2–Cu;#3–Au; #4-Al

3.difference between isotopes and nuclides 4.nucleons
Types of nuclear reactions
1.fission 2.fusion 3. spontaneous decay 4. transmutation
1. In a fission reaction,a bombarding particle splits a nuclide into two nearly equal nuclides.O ften,one or more expelled particles are also emitted.These reactions are highly exothermic.n+U-235Te-137 +Zr-97 + 2 nor n+U-235Ba-142 +Kr-91 + 3 n
For a fission reaction to be sustained, there must be a“critical mass”present–enough of theradioactive material present so that a chain reaction takes place.
2. In a fusion reaction, light nuclides are thrown together at extreme ly high speeds–high enough tocause them to“fuse”together.
Without a doubt, the most common fusion reactors are the stars.
H + H-2 He-3
He-3 +He-3 He-4 + 2 H
He-3 + H He-4 + +
3. Spontaneous decay occurs without an outside influence. Because the nuclide is not stable, it willemit a particle on its own(presumably to try to achieve a balance of nuetrons&protons)
4. The first transmutation reaction was performed by Rutherford in 1919.
He converted N-14 into O-17 by bombarding the nitrogen with an alpha particle,and a proton wasthe expelled particle.
