Reactant
Reactants are the items put on the left side of an equation, which are combined together, in a variety of ways, to yield product
Products
Products are found on the right side of the equation. Products are formed from multiple reactants reacting together.
Types of reactions
Our project slideshow explains how single and double displacement work, however, it doesn't mention synthesis or decomposition. Synthesis is the combination of two or more reactants, while decomposition is the process of splitting a compound into separate, smaller compounds or elements.
Chemical equations
A way to write an equation, which shows the quantity of reactants and products. One is written for each of the reactions used in our project
activity series
An order of elements based on their reactivity which determines which elements react with one another and how reactive they will be/
States of matter
There are five states of matter. Solids, liquids, gas, plasma, and aqueous (or a solid dissolved in a liquid). We didn't use plasma in our project
Positives: This project had many positives, but here are 2. Firstly, I found myself stressing less than previous projects, which may be due to letting others take charge and allowing them to have a chance, although a certain member of our group decided to micro-manage too much. Secondly, I feel that I was able to hold my own weight. I let other people control the project, but if someone asked me "What's your project?", I would be able to answer it well.
Negatives: This project had some negatives. One of such was my chatter. I talked and messed around with other people too much, and that caused other people in my group to become irritated. Thankfully, this is easily fixed, as all I have to do now is monitor myself more carefully. The second negative was my lack of initiative. I didn't offer too many ideas to the table, save for the few times it was absolutely necessary. I feel like I gave too much of my leadership to another person, so next time I will make sure to stand up for my own ideas more.
