Chemical ReactionsThe story
They weren’t alwaysso happy.
Hmph.You’re out ofcontrol
Bbbllgghh!!
Chemical Reactions
Bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
Bonds in H2 & O2 break.

During chemical reactions atoms are not created or destroyed. They’re just
rearranged.

How can you tellif a chemical reactionhas happened?
Let me give you some hints.
Is it a chemical reaction?
If a gas is producedit might be a chemical reaction.Look for the bubbles!
Is it a chemical reaction?
If it changes colorit might be a chemical reaction.Like iron rusting!
Is it a chemical reaction?
If it gets hotterit might be a chemical reaction.
Is it a chemical reaction?
Or…if it gets colderit might be a chemical reaction.
Exothermic ReactionsExothermic reactions release energy.These reactions feel hot.
Endothermic Reactions
Endothermic reactions absorb energy.These reactions feel cold.
