  • Identify the common indicators that a chemical reaction has occurred.
    Common indicators are color change, gas production, and formation of a precipitate.
  • Why does a water molecule have an uneven distribution of charge?
    Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, creating partial charges.
  • Water is known as a polar molecule because
    It has an uneven distribution of charge due to its bent shape.
  • Decomposition of aluminum chloride
    Decomposition of aluminum chloride produces aluminum and chlorine gas.
